The veteran's resilience project: Providing EMDR therapy to veterans in Minnesota

The Veteran's Resilience Project (VRP) of MN has reached out to veterans to give them access to the gift of EMDR therapy. VRP offered 10 EMDR therapy sessions with two more sessions available for family visits. As in many other regions of the United States, EMDR therapy is not readily provided in the VA to veterans in Minnesota. VRP has successfully reached out and engaged veterans in Minnesota in EMDR therapy and retained them to completion. The EMDR therapy provided by VRP significantly reduced PTSD on multiple clinical measures.
