Overview
The Center for Evidence to Practice (Center for E2P) has written this Request for Application (RFA) in order to identify behavioral health practitioners in Louisiana who are equipped to successfully participate in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) training and implementation.
Due to the identified need for Medicaid behavioral health services specific to children and their caregivers, EMDR has been selected by the Office of Behavioral Health (OBH) as an evidence-based program that will be expanded statewide. OBH has published a Medicaid service definition for EMDR in their LA Medicaid Behavioral Health Services Provider Manual.
Through this Request for Applications (RFA), the Center for E2P and EMDR trainer and Consultant, Carol Miles, LCSW look forward to identifying a strong cohort to participate in this training and learning collaborative opportunity.
Introduction to EMDR On-Demand Webinar
In 2020, the Center for Evidence to Practice created an Introduction to EMDR Online Course. It was facilitated by Carol Miles, LCSW and Viviana Triana, LCSW. Participating in this course is highly encouraged prior to submitting your EMDR application materials, as it will be helpful in identifying if EMDR is the right fit for your agency, understanding the training requirements, and more.
You can access the EMDR Informational Webinar through our E2P Learn platform accessible through our website where you can view our Evidence-Based Practice Training courses. You simply need to create an E2P Learn account and enroll in the Introduction to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
