As of September 2023, over 8,000 SMHP from Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, Turkey, Syria, Bulgaria, Iran, South Sudan, Peru, the USA, and Poland have been trained pro-bono.

IS IT NECESSARY FOR SMHP TO BE EMDR PRACTITIONERS?

No, it is not necessary to be an EMDR practitioner
