HAP Conference

The HAP Conference, organized by Trauma Recovery and EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs, is set to take place at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Charleston Airport Hotel & Convention Center in Charleston, United States. This two-day pre-conference training is designed to engage the global EMDR community and facilitate networking, knowledge sharing, and personal connections among attendees. With an anticipated attendance of 250 participants, the event promises a rich environment for discussions and idea exchanges that will help propel careers forward and shape the future of EMDR collectively.

The conference features an open call for poster presentations, encouraging clinicians, researchers, and practitioners to showcase their work and insights on various topics related to EMDR therapy. Presenters are invited to share case studies, research findings, or details of relevant projects. Each poster should focus on a central issue with a clear guiding question or hypothesis, utilizing visuals to effectively communicate ideas.

This interactive format allows for direct engagement with presenters and fosters an exchange of ideas, enhancing the collective knowledge of EMDR therapy and humanitarian practices. The event will also include relevant keynote speakers, workshops, and breakout sessions, catering to attendees with varying levels of expertise—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—making it a dynamic and engaging multiday experience.

The HAP Conference promises to be a valuable opportunity for EMDR therapists and Trauma Recovery Network volunteers to build community and expand their skills.
