EMDR All-Ireland C&A Committee

Our priority strategy is to meet the objectives set of growth of EMDR C&A on the Island of Ireland. We are currently supporting a major EMDR training initiative, to extend outside of the current EMDR All-Ireland membership and support the launch of a campaign to attract the wider C&A mental health professional community on the island of Ireland to train in C&A EMDR.

We are also supporting promotion of In Person C&A EMDR training to individuals already trained in EMDR .

Accreditation Committee

The committee meets once every two months. The main focus of the committee is to assess the applications for Practitioner Accreditation, Consultant Accreditation, Re-accreditation of both Practitioner and Consultant. Applicants also apply for Accreditation as Child and Adolescent Practitioner and C & A Consultant. When the application is approved by the Accreditation Committee a report is sent to the Board.

The chair of the CPD Committee brings us up to date on the courses/workshops that have applied for CPD points.

We also discuss business items and correspondence from the President.
