Happy New Year! Our goal for 2018 is to extend our capabilities and to find new ways to deliver our services to others in response to the unprecedented disasters of 2017. In the year ahead, we will be expanding our programs to provide trainings to communities affected by the recent disasters. We will also continue building on our specialty and new online training programs to reach clinicians who would not otherwise have these trainings easily accessible to them.
Trauma Recovery/HAP volunteers play an integral role in our disaster recovery efforts.
Our Faculty Volunteers work tirelessly throughout the year to deliver training to community and nonprofit agencies. Trauma Recovery/HAP trainings are often organized months to sometimes over a year before the training date. When disaster strikes, our training team has to work double time to plan training in a much shorter period. This would not be possible without Faculty volunteers who continue to give of themselves without complaint. Their dedication and energy allowed us to provide these trainings while our Trauma Recovery Network (TRN) volunteers assist in expediting the planning process and establishing training efforts locally.
The growth of our Trauma Recovery Network has made possible our goal of being able to provide pro bono services to individuals in need. Their commitment to aiding those suffering through community outreach or disaster recovery efforts has brought the hope of healing to so many. In collaboration with both our Faculty and TRN volunteers, we have numerous efforts already planned for this year. A special thank you goes out to our many dedicated and caring volunteers who make a difference throughout the world. Click here for more info about our upcoming efforts.
All the best,
Carol R. Martin
Executive Director

The financial crisis affected us all. By 2009, many people lost their jobs and their insurance coverage. At a North Country office, where I was working with two other counselors, we were experiencing an increasing number of cancellations. Clearly, people needed to use their limited funds for food and shelter. They could no longer afford counseling so we decided to do something about it...

Trauma Recovery/HAP is continuing to reach across borders and continents to train health professionals in EMDR therapy. This October, a training team returned to Nepal, to build upon long-term recovery efforts after the 2015 earthquake and follow up on last year's successful Part-1 training.

| Pet of the Month:
|
"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." - Anatole France
This month's Pet of the Month is Jakey, brought to you by our friend Lea Velocci. Jakey is a happy 2 1/2 year old with an adorable underbite. He likes to roll on his back for belly rubs and sneezes when he wants to go out. Lea says "I love him because he came into our lives so unexpectedly and our house has been filled with immeasurable joy ever since!"
Send us a picture and brief description to have your pet featured in an upcoming newsletter.
