EMDRIA recognizes ongoing trauma that so many in the world are facing including fires, earthquakes, political and personal violence, and personal loss. To support those who are treating people with these difficulties and to further efforts to prevent long-term trauma that occurs as a result of these disasters, we are making publicly available Dr. Amanda Roberts article from the EMDR Early Intervention (EEI) issue of the Go With That magazine (Vol 23, Issue 3 from September 2018). This article provides a current summary of the interventions in the field. We’ve also included some resource lists for these interventions. Click here to view the articles and resources.
