This workshop will present a cross training model: the cutting edge integration of EMDR therapy, trauma informed phase oriented therapy, and ego state therapy in the treatment of highly traumatized clients.
Greetings reader,

It's Founder's Month at Trauma Recovery/HAP and we are pleased to celebrate with you! Spring is always a busy time of year for us, and this year is no different.

In April, we celebrated Volunteer Appreciation Week from April 17-23. In May we joined the nation in recognizing Mental Health Awareness Month, and now, during the month of June, we remember and celebrate our founder, Dr. Francine Shapiro.

These past months have been very demanding in regards to disaster response with traumatic events in New York, Colorado, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and most recently Texas, to name just a few. The need for direct recovery assistance, both in the United States and abroad, continues to grow.

It was our great privilege to work with leaders in Ukraine to train 300 mental health professionals in the Flash Technique during May. This would not have been possible without the support of Dr. Philip Manfield, who led the training.

As many of you are aware, earlier this month we launched our new administrative system. This has been a long awaited transition to a new system that will bring us greater functionality, better information and more, however, we also recognize the process has had some difficulties. We want to express our appreciation for everyone's support and patience through it all.

Now is a good time to make sure you follow and like our social media channels, all linked at the bottom of this newsletter, to be sure you don't miss any upcoming announcements, activities, or volunteer opportunities.

In this issue, we share with you the following news,

  • Ways to Be Involved in Founder's Month
  • How the MI-Tri County TRN is Supporting the Oxford School Community
  • Registration is Open for the Inaugural EMDR Walk in the Park this August
  • Stay Tuned, Our New Podcast Launches June 15th
  • Update on EMDR China Trainings

I am grateful to our volunteers, donors, non-profit partners, and government agency partners throughout this country and the world. Thank you for your continued involvement and support of our mission to heal trauma through EMDR therapy.

Sincerely,


Carol R. Martin
Executive Director 
During Founder’s Month, we take time to celebrate the legacy and work of Dr. Francine Shapiro, originator and developer of EMDR therapy and founder of our organization.

She was, and still is, a source of motivation and inspiration for us all.
Faced with a mass shooting at a school in their community, MI-Tri County TRN co-coordinators Christine Muska and Jennifer Shields got to work engaging current TRN members, recruiting new volunteer members, and building the necessary connections to best serve their community at a time of great need. 

Coming Soon! A New Trauma Recovery/HAP Podcast
Launching on June 15th as part of Founder's Month, we bring you a new Trauma Recovery/HAP podcast; What's HAPpening - Behind the Scenes With Trauma Recovery HAP.

In this podcast, we will share the stories, both past and present, of Trauma Recovery/HAP. Don't miss our very first episode where host Carol Martin speaks with Robbie Dunton about her long history with HAP, her friendship and fond memories of Dr. Francine Shapiro, and why she continues to support our mission.

Check our website www.emdrhap.org on or after June 15th for more information and access to the first episode.

When:Sunday, August 14, 2022
Where: East Rock Park, New Haven, CT

The inaugural EMDR Walk in the Park to benefit Trauma Recovery/HAP is scheduled for August 14, 2022. The flat 2 mile walk winds through College Woods and East Rock Park in New Haven, CT. Enjoy a scenic walk in the park before finishing in College Woods pavilion for a festive picnic!

Can’t join us in-person? Not to worry. Sign up for the virtual walk option and participate from anywhere in the world!


Trauma Recovery/HAP in collaboration with EMDR Asia and EMDRIA, are proud to support EMDR China in providing EMDR Basic trainings in Beijing, China. Although the pandemic delayed the delivery of the Part II training for nearly two years after the Part I, the training did successfully take place virtually in November 2021, marking the first virtual training for EMDR China.

Thank you and congratulations to the trainers, Dr. Rosalie Thomas and Dr. Sushma Mehrotra.
