Francine Shapiro Foundation

The Francine Shapiro Foundation is an organization dedicated to promoting the research, training, and dissemination of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, which was developed by Francine Shapiro. EMDR is a proven psychological treatment effective in helping individuals process traumatic memories and reduce related distress. The foundation supports clinicians, researchers, and the public by providing education, resources, and advancing understanding of EMDR’s benefits across various mental health conditions. Its goal is to ensure safe, effective, and accessible therapy for those in need of trauma recovery.
