Do you want to make a difference in your community? Do you want to help your neighbors who are suffering from trauma caused by a man-made or natural disaster? Become a volunteer by joining the Trauma Recovery Network (TRN). The Trauma Recovery Network is comprised of EMDR trained therapists who assist their home communities and provide backup to other communities in times of emergency. We have grown to nearly 40 local Associations throughout the United States and our National TRN has nearly 500 members! We are pleased to announce a new TRN association, the Greater Chicago TRN, has been launched under the leadership of coordinator, Sharon Steckler, LCSW.
While emergency response, in the form of brief pro bono therapy, is the most prominent feature of Association or Chapter work, the capability to respond rests on the ongoing work of each Association or Chapter to prepare itself on several dimensions. Each local Association will develop their priorities based on their skills and the community need. You can find out more about this on our website.
The local TRN Associations have made such a difference in their communities. We hope to hear from you!
All the best,
Carol R. Martin
Executive Director
Please note the updated coordinator info for the Greater Chicago TRN
