EMDR access for all: Training for worldwide growth

Post-traumatic growth opportunities exist everywhere we turn across the world, but access to training opportunities for EMDR and continuing education are often not accessible to providers. Sometimes, techniques used in standard trainings are perceived as not inclusive of all cultures or demographics or worse may be unknowingly offensive. Our panel will highlight Francine Shapiro's desire for EMDR to be accessible to all groups and individuals around the world. Practical examples will be used to incorporate diversity and inclusion into existing and future training protocols. Institutional and organizational examples will also be shared to highlight ways to replicate training access in service areas where EMDR Therapy may be underutilized due to lack of training or other systems barriers.
