In this episode of Scaling Up Your Impact, host Kelly Smyth-Dent explores the urgent need for trauma-informed care among veterans, service members, and their families—and how EMDR Therapy is helping to close the gap. Discover why military-connected clients face unique barriers to mental health support, and how EMDR offers a practical, research-backed path to healing that honors their boundaries and experiences.
Kelly shares the story behind Scaling Up’s fully funded EMDR Basic Training initiative in Arizona, made possible by the Arizona Department of Veterans’ Services. Learn how over 400 clinicians have received comprehensive, EMDRIA-approved training at no cost, equipping them to better serve those who’ve served us all.
Whether you’re a therapist working with veterans, a clinician new to EMDR, or simply passionate about trauma care, this episode unpacks:
- The ripple effects of trauma in military families
- How EMDR transforms both client outcomes and clinician confidence
- Details about the Arizona EMDR Basic Training program—and who it’s for
- Why building a trauma-informed workforce matters now more than ever
