Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs

What Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs does

Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs (legally EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1995 in response to the Oklahoma City bombing. Headquartered at 80 Garden Center, Suite 200, Broomfield, Colorado (with website operations referencing Connecticut), the organization trains mental health professionals in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy — an eight-phase protocol built on the Adaptive Information Processing model — and coordinates disaster-response treatment through a global volunteer network. Its core products are EMDR Basic Training (EMDRIA-approved, Parts 1 and 2), Trauma Recovery Network (TRN) regional chapters, On-Demand and Advanced Training courses, the Faculty Academy (including the Facilitator-in-Training program), the annual HAP Conference, the EMDR Walk in the Park fundraising event, and a Scholarship Fund for Master's/Doctorate-level mental health students. Specialized protocols include EMDR-PRECI for recent critical incidents and EMDR-IGTP, a group intervention protocol originally developed after a Mexico hurricane.

The organization serves three primary constituencies: individual mental health professionals seeking EMDR certification and continuing education; disaster victims and trauma survivors receiving pro bono treatment in 30+ countries; and underserved communities including active-duty military, veterans, and populations in developing nations. Named institutional customers include Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, Marine & Family Programs/Counseling Service at Camp Pendleton, Agnesian Behavioral HealthCare, Health and Education Services (Beverly, MA), and The Center for Grief Care and Education (San Diego, CA). Faculty volunteers and clinical consultants (including named staff such as Lori Pereira, Stephanie Lohret, Sally Parmelee, Kyndel Marcroft, Dr. April Minjarez, and Dr. Rosalie Thomas) deliver 70+ training events per year, reaching 3,000+ clinicians annually and cumulatively 42,700+ since 2004.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: low-cost training fees for Basic Training and advanced workshops, charitable donations processed via charity.pledgeit.org, and merchandise sales through the EMDR HAP Store. The organization maintains EMDRIA-Approved Training Provider status (which requires sharing participant data with EMDRIA) and is one of only two closely affiliated groups — alongside the EMDR Institute founded alongside it by Dr. Francine Shapiro — providing EMDR training based on Dr. Shapiro's original manual. Recognized with the 2011 ISTSS Sarah Haley Memorial Award for Clinical Excellence and UN Special Consultative Status (2014), the organization's competitive position rests on volunteer-driven capacity building rather than technology differentiation.
