Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs (HAP) looks back on 2018 with gratitude for the accomplishments made possible by our many supporters and volunteers.

Training Efforts in Uganda
Faculty Volunteer, Deb Silveria's Experience
|
Deborah Silveria, PhD., licensed Psychologist, LMFT, felt well prepared when she arrived in Kampala, Uganda as a volunteer trainer, along with Dr. Sushma Mehrotra, for the Trauma Recovery/HAP Basic EMDR Therapy Part 2 in November of 2018. The foundation for success had been laid in the extensive planning and budgeting for the session by Carol Martin, Executive Director, Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs (Trauma Recovery/HAP). She had also received invaluable insights and advice from fellow volunteers, Leslie Brown, MA, LPC and Janet Wright, LCSW who provided the Part 1 training in August of 2018.

| Pet of the Month:
|
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France
This month's Pets of the Month is Jackson, brought to us by Neal DeLaurentis.
He is a 5 year old Greater Swiss Mountain Dog who loves to play tug-o-war, chase squirrels, go for walks, and take long naps. He also loves to "talk" especially when the mail carrier arrives because he knows she's bringing him a biscuit.
Send us a picture and brief description to have your pet featured in an upcoming newsletter.
