About CentralARTRN

The Central AR Trauma Recovery Network (CentralARTRN) is a Volunteer Organization operating within the framework of the EMDR HAP (Humanitarian Assistance Program), that is the Umbrella Organization. We are an organized group of trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Clinicians who are Licensed and Insured.

After Effects of Traumatic Exposure


After a disaster, the effects of exposure to emotional/physiological trauma can linger and interfere with a person’s ability to return to a normal life. Brief treatments of EMDR can help to alleviate common symptoms. Our goal is to assist victims of Post Traumatic Stress and to lessen and/or eliminate the interference of symptoms related to a disaster that has occured in the Central Arkansas Area. We can and will assist other disaster areas in the state of Arkansas, if needed.
