The University of Pittsburgh School of Social Work is excited to partner with the
PA Department of Human Services' Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS) to provide high-quality
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training and certification for qualified
PA Medicaid mental health providers with the intent of increasing knowledge, expertise, and skillsets.
EMDR is an evidence-based therapeutic intervention that is most often used to treat trauma.
It focuses on the individual’s present concerns and goes beyond talk therapy to use eye movements and other forms of stimulation to activate the brain’s ability to resolve these concerns.
EMDR can help to process upsetting memories, thoughts, and feelings related to the trauma.
By processing these experiences, relief from trauma symptoms may occur.
This program has a rolling admission application and will stay open until September 1, 2024.
All upcoming training cohorts will be selected and notified 4 weeks prior to the scheduled training date start.
If you do not receive an email you have not been selected for that month's cohort.
