Social Justice Scholarships for Therapists

Social Justice Scholarships

We’re pleased to offer the following “Social Justice” training scholarships to therapists who are BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), TGNC (Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming), or members of other marginalized groups.

(You can learn about the background and rationale here.)

EMDR Group Consultation Package, or Discount on Certification Package

Four half-day group consultation sessions. This is available at no cost to any eligible person who we have trained in EMDR in 2020 or later, or who participates in our current or future EMDR trainings.

As an alternative, eligible people who we have trained in EMDR can request a $200 discount on the EMDR Certification package, in addition to the existing $200 discount available to all those who obtained their EMDR training from us.

(Note that this social justice scholarship/discount does not apply to those who obtain trainings from our Affiliated Trainers who manage their own registrations etc., as they are addressing social justice issues in their own ways.) 

Eligible persons wishing to participate in the consultation sessions (or discount on the certification package) should e-mail us the following information: 1) The marginalized group(s) to which you belong, 2) the training you attended (or will attend), including the instructor and the date it started (or will start), and 3) whether you prefer the Group Consultation package or the additional discount on the EMDR Certification package. We will confirm your eligibility upon receipt of your email, and send you the information you will need to participate.

PC Group Consultation Package

Four half-day group consultation sessions. This is available at no cost to any eligible person who we have trained in PC in 2020 or later, or who participates in our current or future PC trainings.

(Note that this social justice scholarship/discount does not apply to those who obtain trainings from our Affiliated Trainers who manage their own registrations etc., as they are addressing social justice issues in their own ways.) 

Eligible persons wishing to participate in the consultation sessions should e-mail us the following information: 1) The marginalized group(s) to which you belong, and 2) the training you attended (or will attend), including the instructor and the date it started (or will start). We will confirm your eligibility upon receipt of your email, and send you the information you will need to participate.

Candidates (at any level in their career) will be selected based on promise of professional excellence. To apply, e-mail the following (in a single e-mail):

  • cover letter of max 1 page, to include mention of the marginalized group(s) of which you’re a member, the reason for your interest in the training program, and why you should be selected
