About

Course Description

In times of crisis, people in need often outpace clinicians available to help. Group models of EMDR Therapy, an evidenced-based treatment, allow more youth and families to receive treatment in a way that is flexible and can be implemented with various age groups, generations, cultures, clinical issues, and settings. Clinician skill and confidence will grow as strategies and guidelines for implementing group protocols with children, adolescents, and families are presented.
