Abstract:
It has been almost 2 years since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast.
These 2 years can be characterized by constant struggle and pain as the people
try to reattain some semblance of life as they knew it before Katrina struck.
Some have chosen to leave their ancestral homes, homes where they were
raised and where they, in turn, raised their own families. Those who did leave
are able, in some way, to reestablish some semblance of normality, but those
who stayed showed manifestations of and dealt with psychological trauma.
These manifestations include regression, inattentiveness, aggressiveness, somatic
complaints, irritability, social withdrawal, nightmares, and crying. Longer
lasting effects may include depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, and
interpersonal or academic difficulties. These postdisaster manifestations can
linger or remain hidden until well after the traumatic event and could persist
for years. This article presents issues about the effects of Katrina on the mental
health of the people of New Orleans. It discusses the profile of posttraumatic
stress disorder and presents evidence-based review of interventions the health
care provider can implement to care for thosewho continue to suffer the effects
of this horrific disaster.

2. Hurley, E. C., & Colelli, G. (2006, September). Post-Katrina disaster response: EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP) volunteers discuss post-Katrina recovery work and its comparison with the 9/11 New York City response. Presentation at the annual meeting of the EMDR International Association, Philadelphia, PA.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
This presentation provides a collective body of
knowledge helpful for EMDR clinicians in
understanding disaster response at sites both in
post-Katrina operations in Louisiana and 911 operations in New York City. The presentation will
include information learned by EMDR
Humanitarian Assistance Program (HAP)
volunteers in establishing an on-site network for trauma recovery clinicians serving in Louisiana.
Lessons learned include establishing initial onsite networks, noting key contact persons, and
networking with local agencies in providing
EMDR services. EMDR Consultation and the
importance of daily debriefings of the clinical
work will be discussed. Differences in protocols
such as EMD, Recent Events Protocol, and
EMDR, as they relate to the timing of the trauma
will be outlined. The importance of practicing
healthy self-care and avoiding burnout will be
noted. A summation will include the similarities
and differences between the EMDR community-based
intervention project in New York City with
responders and civilian following 9/11 and the
post-Katrina HAP project with first responders in
Louisiana.

Abstract:
Recommended by the Department of Defense and the American Psychiatric Association among many other organizations, EMDR uses a set of standardized protocols that incorporate elements from many different treatment approaches. It “essentially shines a light on the emergency event or events stored in the more primitive brain allowing the event to be processed in a safe way,” said Joyce Goldstein of West Brighton a family therapist and trained EMDR therapist.
Volunteer licensed and EMDR trained therapists from Staten Island, Manhattan and Boston will be available, several of whom have helped relieve suffering after September 11, Hurricane Katrina and the earthquake in Haiti as part of the EMDR Humanitarian Assistance Program.

5. Evans, S., Alter-Reid, K., & Schaefer, S. (2010, September/October). Therapy for therapists project: Impact of intensive EMDR treatment post-Katrina. Presentation at the annual meeting of EMDR International Association, Minneapolis, MN.
Language: English
Format: Conference
Abstract:
An EMDR-HAP team provided three EMDR sessions to 21 Gulf State clinicians 2½ to 3 years after Hurricane Katrina. This presentation investigates the impact of treatment on clinicians’ suffering from the stress of disaster on their emotional health. The hypotheses that clinicians receiving EMDR treatment would show statistically significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and trauma symptoms at one week post-treatment were supported. Implications of results include adding a treatment component to EMDR-HAP trainings for clinicians in disaster stricken areas. Clinicians’ trauma resolution could lead to improved learning of EMDR, greater immunity to compassion fatigue, and hence have EMDR reach exponentially into the community and the public practice domain.
