This four-hour training offers an in-depth look at preparing and laying a strong foundation for EMDR Therapy when working with children, adolescents, and their caregivers. Throughout this training, clinicians will develop an application of EMDR when working with children and develop an understanding of ways to build safety and rapport through art and play therapy modalities. Clinicians will also apply knowledge of EMDR when working with parents/caregivers in order to build a complete foundation for trauma work with children.
