What's Happening at EMDR HAP Please note that additional news on EMDR HAP can be found in previous editions of the HAP Newsletter India, Sri Lanka, Palestine: From Disaster to Development In India and Sri Lanka, 70 local clinicians responding to the tsunami are immersed in EMDR Part II training and reporting substantial accomplishments already after their Part I training last Spring. In Palestine, HAP returns after a four-year interruption. Thirty clinicians from the East Jerusalem YMCA will study and practice EMDR just outside of Bethlehem as a three-year development project gets under way. And back in south Asia, the HAP training teams will also train new Part I cohorts and continue to develop local leaders and EMDR associations. In each of these projects, HAP volunteers bring a powerful mental health resource to a region overwhelmed by the stress of natural disaster or inter-group strife and the dislocations they cause. And in each case, the full benefit of HAP's work rests on shifting the focus from disaster response to mental health resource development. That transition occurred in Turkey after a major earthquake several years ago; today there are growing numbers of EMDR clinicians in Turkey and Turkish consultants visit other countries as HAP volunteers. Each country where we work presents its own unique pattern of need and resources, and a common goal for HAP - the emergence of a self-sustaining community of EMDR practice. Evidently, that goal is not just our own: we've had an invitation from the folks in Bethlehem for years, and recently another invitation - from a University clinic in Manila. back to news from HAP
