Cairo Consultants' Training

March 2023

One of Trauma Aid’s 2023 objectives is sustainable capacity building in regions where we are working. Accreditation is a key component of sustainability and Accredited Consultants are a pre-requisite.

In March 2023, Robin Logie led a Consultants’ Training Course in Egypt.

Twenty Participants enjoyed the course.

Robin and our Trauma Aid UK Team also had a brief opportunity to see some local sights.

In the picture below on the wall, from left to right: Robin Logie, EMDR Consultant and Trainer; Osama Refaat, Professor of Psychiatry, Host and Participant; Kath Norgate, EMDR Consultant and Facilitator; and, Hamodi Kayal, EMDR Consultant and facilitator.

Thank you to all concerned.
