Who We Are

What we do

Empowering Local Clinicians

We provide advanced training in EMDR therapy—a globally recognised, evidence-based treatment for trauma. Our focus is on supporting mental health professionals in rural, remote, and disaster-affected communities, ensuring that trauma recovery skills stay where they’re needed most.

Rapid Response to Crisis

When disaster strikes, TRNA mobilises quickly to support first responders and local clinicians. Our early intervention programs help reduce the risk of long-term psychological harm and build resilience in affected communities.

Building Community Capacity

We don’t just offer short-term solutions. By training and mentoring local therapists, we create sustainable networks of care that continue to support trauma recovery long after the crisis has passed.

Supporting Marginalised Populations

We prioritise outreach to Indigenous, culturally diverse, and under-served communities, ensuring that no one is left behind in the journey to healing.

Why EMDR?

EMDR is an evidence-based treatment recommended by the World Health Organization for the treatment of stress-related anxiety disorders in adults and children. It is also approved by and the National Health and Medical Research Council and included in the  Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Acute Stress Disorder, Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and Complex PTSD for the treatment of PTSD symptoms. 

As clients do not have to do homework, or describe the event in detail, EMDR Therapy has been shown to be the most cost-efficient treatment for PTSD.
