Pet of the Month
Meet Coconut
Coconut is celebrating her 1st birthday and living her best life! Rescued by a shelter in Kentucky along with her 5 siblings, she was transported to the Northeast to her forever home. Often called Coco Loco or Nutty, she is part chihuahua, part pug. She loves the outdoors, playing fetch, dressing up and napping in her owners' laps.
Send us a picture and brief description to have your pet featured in an upcoming newsletter. 
Greetings reader,

As we head into the summer months, we are examining the topic of growth. For those of you that enjoy gardening, you know summer is a time of growth, where you watch the fruits of your labor grow, blossom and yield produce. You also know the time and energy put into nurturing those plants up until now. In many ways, the process is similar to the work you do with your clients.

Trauma Recovery, EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Programs is pleased to share the growth we are experiencing as an organization, that comes after the long, laboriously challenging year that was 2020.

In this issue, you will learn more about:
  • Our newest TRN in Monterey Bay, CA
  • Expanding the staff at Trauma Recovery/HAP
  • The importance of monthly donors
  • and much more!

From new staff, to new administrative systems, to new volunteers and Trauma Recovery Networks, we have this community to thank for continuing to forge ahead and grow and strengthen our organization.

If you have opportunities for further growth you'd like to share with us or experiences highlighting the growth of this community to share, please reach out by replying to this newsletter.

Warmly,
Carol R. Martin
Executive Director 

Learn about recent activities Trauma Recovery/HAP has undertaken as part of a dedicated effort to build and strengthen our network of volunteers, specifically our Trauma Recovery Network, and to meet the continually growing need for trauma response and treatment in our communities.

The TRN Association of Monterey Bay officially joined our network in March of this year and got right to work in their community. Hear from coordinator Elizabeth Ramirez about how this network formed, their goals and some of their successes so far!

In 2021, we welcomed two new individuals to our staff.

  • Sally Parmelee, Advancement Officer
  • Lori Pereira, Training & Faculty Consultant
Becoming a monthly donor is an amazing way to support Trauma Recovery/HAP and benefits both the donor and the organization.

Hear first hand from Carol Forgash and Hank Glaser why they believe so strongly in participating in our Monthly Giving Program.

Congratulations to Dr. Sushma Mehrotra recipient of the Trauma Aid Europe Humanitarian Award 2021!

This well-deserved award recognizes Dr. Sushma Mehrotra as a leader in growing EMDR in Asia and bringing the benefits of EMDR to people in crisis. Dr. Mehrotra is a Trauma Recovery/HAP Board Member and Founder President for EMDR Asia and Trauma Recovery, Asia.
