World Health Organization (WHO) to treat Trauma.
What is EMDR?
EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing
A psychotherapy that enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
Repeated studies show that by using EMDR therapy people can experience the benefits of psychotherapy that once took years to make a difference.

What is TF-CBT?
TF-CBT: Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
An evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma and their parents or caregivers.
TF-CBT skills can also be utilized by adults.
Research shows that TF-CBT successfully resolves a broad array of emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with single, multiple and complex trauma experiences.
