Listen now
Description
According to the U.S. Census 2019, there were an estimated 22.9 million Asian Americans, 1.6 million Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders (AANHPI), together accounting for 7.2 percent of the nation's population. The percentage of Asian alone-or-in-combination military veterans in 2021 was 2.4 percent. While the population numbers might seem small, the AANPHI community has also been touched by trauma. Enter EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant-in-Training Sherry Yam, LCSW, to discuss how EMDR therapy can help to heal members of this community and their collective trauma.  Resources EMDRIA Client Brochures Focal Point  BlogEMDRIA EMDR and Diversity, Community and Culture Special Interest Group (SIG)EMDRIA Practice ResourcesEMDRIA's Find an EMDR Therapist Directory lists more than 15,000 EMDR therapists.Follow @EMDRIA on Twitter.
