About Trauma Aid Europe
Trauma Aid Europe is a network organization responsible for the promotion and development of EMDR therapy, as an evidence based, empirically supported psychotherapy, in assisting communities affected by the consequences of psychological trauma.
About EMDR Therapy
EMDR Therapy – A Humanitarian Endeavour (Francine Shapiro, 2014)
The negative effects of trauma and other adverse life experiences have been shown to interfere with individual, family, and societal functioning.
Humanitarian assistance organizations have conducted projects internationally to provide EMDR therapy after both natural and manmade disasters and have helped develop sustainable mental health resources worldwide.
