The EMDR-IGTP provides individual EMDR therapy in a group setting, allowing for many individuals to be treated simultaneously– highly valuable in settings where mental health resources are limited. EMDR-IGTP small (3-15) or large (16-50) groups can be made up of people who have been through the same type of ongoing or prolonged traumatic events or circumstances. These include:

• Victims of continued violence(e.g., sexual abuse, severe interpersonal violence, criminal violence)
• At-risk personnel(e.g., agency and NGO staff dealing with natural disasters and violent conflicts, first responders/emergency response personnel, military personnel;
• Individualsundergoing life-changing experiences with ongoing traumatic stress or extreme stressors(e.g., refugees, survivors of long term disasters, ongoing war, prolonged violent conflicts, terrorism, geopolitical crisis)
• Individuals withdiverse ongoing trauma histories with similar circumstance in common(e.g., chronic or severe illness; individuals, couples and families with ongoing domestic violence situations that have not been resolved and are still unsafe to some degree).

Utilization in cancer treatment

Within the context of Psycho-Oncology these protocols address one of the major psychological dimensions of cancer: the ongoing cancer-related stress responses with trauma-related disorders (e.g., adjustment disorders, acute traumatic stress disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder) of patients, their families and caregivers at all stages of the disease: from diagnosis through treatment, to treatment completion through follow-up, and if needed, to recurrence and diagnosis of terminal illness.
