Racial Equity Support Initiative
The goal of this EMDRIA Foundation program is to increase the number of BIPOC individuals who have advanced in leadership capacity in EMDR by becoming EMDR Certified™ or EMDR Consultants™.
EMDRIA has a vision that people of all communities have a visible leadership role. This program is a way to move in that direction by increasing the numbers of EMDR Certified™ Therapists, Consultants In Training, and EMDR Consultants™ from diverse communities. We foster diversity through education and the development of policies and practices that encompass multiple aspects of human differences, life experiences, and viewpoint, and further recognize their similarities and interrelationships.
The program will award support to selected applicants in the spring and fall of each year. The Foundation will disseminate the Fall 2024 awards in November. Applications will be accepted from July 29th through September 15th.
