Our Feature Volunteer for th e  Month: 
Roger Solomon,Ph.D.  
 
Dr. Roger Solomon is a clinical psychologist who in his clinical work specializes in the treatment of trauma and grief.   Roger first became involved with Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs as a result of his successful work in trauma and his strong desire to be of help to others. In 1994, he and Dr. Theresa Rando, who is an authority on treating traumatic stress and grief, developed a three day program, using EMDR therapy, on processing and desensitizing the painful grief for survivors of spouses who had been killed in the line of duty. Because of the great need, there were requests from law enforcement agencies from all over the country who were interested in developing similar programs for their officers and families.

Pet of the Month: 
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France 

This is HAP volunteer Carol Kibbee's three year old, seven pound Maltipoo.  Lily Blue heads up her "team of helpers" in therapy (in Prescott, AZ) since the age of 8 weeks.  She particularly loves working with children and does not mind when they attempt to apply tactile bilateral stimulation to her paws.  Lily Blue also enjoys  adult clients who have children inside them and is extremely fond of addiction groups, especially when they save some of their lunch for her.

Send us a picture and brief description and we will feature a new pet each month!
