ASSYST HEART
EMDR Mexico is the ASSYST-HEART Home
WHAT IS THE ASSYST HEART PROJECT?
In March 2022, at the start of the Ukrainian invasion/war, the Humanitarian Emergency ASSYST Response Training was born to give specialized mental health providers (SMHP) from countries needing support the knowledge to conduct sustainable ASSYST Humanitarian & Research Psychosocial Projects.
HOW MANY SMHP HAVE BEEN TRAINED PRO-BONO AND FROM WHICH COUNTRIES?
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
We have observed that after seeing the effectiveness of the ASSYST treatment intervention procedures, SMHP are more likely to take the EMDR therapy basic training and advance trainings
