Racial Equity Support Initiative (RESI)

From the RESI Website:

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 Spring 2025 awards in May. Applications will be accepted from February 15th through March 15th.
