Resources and support include:
1. Information about appropriate resources and programs, such as the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program, provided by the EMDRIA website and Regional Coordinators;
2. References to written materials about such topics as vicarious traumatization, stress-response symptoms, and self-care for the provider; and Clinician Support Listserv now available for EMDRIA members, click here for information.
