The City is offering therapists free Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing training in exchange for working with sexual assault survivors through APD Victims Services. EMDR focuses on the disturbing emotions and symptoms that result from traumatic events and helps the brain organically move toward natural healing and positive mental health. As DNA backlogs are being addressed the need for more EMDR therapists is needed.
City staff and students are invited to bike from Hunters Chase Park to Pond Springs Elementary School for National Bike to School Day. Participates will have their names entered into a raffle.
