Teach EMDR
Qualified volunteers make up the faculty of Trauma Recovery/HAP’s EMDR Basic Training. These EMDR Basic Trainings are offered to clinicians that work in nonprofit organizations and community mental health agencies in the United States and around the world. Volunteer teams staff these reduced cost workshops. Volunteer roles include Logistics Support, Facilitator and Trainer.
Volunteers also have the opportunity to present specialty trainings (such as Trauma First Aid and R-TEP/G-TEP) and occasionally develop their own trainings, which are available for streaming on the Trauma Recovery/HAP website.
Teaching EMDR is a rewarding volunteer opportunity and enriches your own understanding of EMDR. To begin your training to become a facilitator at a basic EMDR training, you must be an EMDRIA approved consultant. Facilitator training involves completing an application, passing an interview, participating in mentoring, and attending four weekend trainings
