After the 2017 EMDRIA Conference, we returned home with renewed energy and inspiration. We are
pleased that so many of you
participated in our events and visited us at
our
booth. As we traveled home, Hurricane Harvey made its way towards Texas. It ushered in a series of extraordinary events that rocked our nation and called upon unprecedented disaster response. The need for recovery programs has never been as great. The support of Trauma Recovery/HAP interventions has never been as necessary.
Please note that while we do provide as much assistance as we can in the immediate wake of a tragedy, we are not a disaster response organization. It has been proven time and time again, that long term efforts provided once the community has healed its more physically pressing needs are more effective and helpful to the affected population. As you read this, efforts are ongoing and/or being coordinated in response to Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, the Vegas Shooting,
and the
California Wildfires
.
We mourn with you the losses in New York City and Sunday in Sutherland Springs, TX. Over time, we hope that we can provide some support and assistance to those communities as well. To do so, we need the help of our volunteers and your support.
Please click here
to see how you can make a difference in a time of such tragedy.
Trauma recovery is a process that takes the tenacity and commitment, compassion, intelligence and insight that you bring to each challenge. Thanks to all of our volunteers and donors throughout the country for all you do every day to help those who affected by emotional or physical trauma.
All the best,
Carol R. Martin
Executive Director

Working with our dedicated and caring volunteers, we are responding
to the natural and manmade disasters of the past months
. These catastrophic
events
,
that have affected so many
,
calls upon us to respond as EMDR therapy professionals and as compassionate citizens. As we act to affirm our mission, we are coordinating with local community and health organizations to provide trauma recovery assistance and programs for their devastated populations. Our broad goal is to help "jump start" local resources and build capacity for effective trauma treatment services that can be sustained
and integrated into the community over time

| 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 Tilly, brought to you by our friend Jillian Treszi. Jillian shares, "
Tilly is a 12 year old Russian Blue. She is a unique one with her green eyes. She pretty much runs the household and allows us to live there as long as we fulfill her every command (which she has many of). However, she is the queen of the castle and the love of my and my husband's life or so she tells us."
Send us a picture and brief description to have your pet featured in an upcoming newsletter.
