Serious psychological trauma results from the natural and man-made disasters, war, gun violence, and crime afflicting both survivors and the first responders who come to their aid.
Since 1995, at the time of a terrorist bombing in Oklahoma City, Trauma Recovery/ Humanitarian Assistance Programs has brought mental health clinicians with evidence-based therapy to the scene of disasters, providing pro bono care to thousands. The Trauma Recovery Network® (TRN®) grew out of this tradition and now helps hundreds of skilled therapist/volunteers serve the communities affected by disasters through a comprehensive program of preparation, mitigation, rescue and response.
Mental health professionals trained in EMDR Parts I and II form local/regional TRN groups. Staffed entirely by volunteers, these member groups are the key to local aid and recovery. They work to restore and safeguard community psychological well-being in the event of a disaster.
Each Trauma Recovery Network association is charged with the responsibility to assist in times of emergency with pro bono services and to address ongoing circumstances contributing to trauma in their local communities. The TRN networks with the local emergency management system and with other groups within the TRN community to share informational resources and lessons learned and to engage in outreach to both the general public and community leaders on the nature and treatment of psychological stress.

The national network helps each local/regional group keep up to date and relevant on emerging best practices for early treatment of psychological trauma. When disasters are very large or prolonged, Trauma Recovery/HAP helps local groups access trained clinicians in other localities, to contribute to pro bono services offered to survivors and first responders.
