WHAT IS EMDR?

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a best-practice, evidence-based psychotherapy approved by international health and government regulatory bodies throughout the world. EMDR effectively and efficiently eliminates the symptoms of stress and trauma. It is highly-rated for its efficacy with ASD & PTSD by (among many others):

• The American Psychiatric Association (2004 & 2009)
• The US Department of Defense/Veterans Affairs (2004 & 2010)
• The International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies (2000 & 2008)

EXCITING NEWS FOR CANADIAN CITIZENS…
EMDR training is now starting to receive Ministry funding in Canada!

In 2011, the Ontario Ministry of Health provided funding for EMDR training for two programs:

• The Sexual Assault/Domestic Violence Treatment Centres in Ontario hospitals have a pilot project underway in which 30 staff are receiving EMDR training, and
• The Primary Health Care Services of Peterborough (a network of Family Health Teams servicing 113,000 patients in that city) are also mid-way through a Ministry-funded EMDR training.

The clients/patients of these programs will have access to publicly-funded EMDR.
