Biofeedback Resources International
The mission of Biofeedback Resources International is to foster self-knowledge and improve lives through innovation, continuous improvement of products, services, employee productivity and relentless efforts to deliver highest values at lowest prices.
Since 1971, thousands of professionals and organizations have chosen the Biofeedback Resources team for training, equipment and technical support. Word of mouth from satisfied clients has made us international, full service leaders.
HTS* instructors are among the most experienced and successful instructor / practitioners in biofeedback. Likewise, many of the professionals we have trained over the past thirty four years are today among the most successful biofeedback practitioners, nationally as well as internationally.
In terms of quality, cost effectiveness, service and innovation, our unique team delivers unsurpassed value in biofeedback training and equipment.
To bring biofeedback and neurofeedback to the BTR community, we will be working with expert Harry L. Campbell, BPS, who is BCIA Certified in Biofeedback and Neurofeedback, President of Biofeedback Resources International Corporation, and past President of North East Regional Biofeedback Society. Harry believes that introducing biofeedback and neurofeedback to the BTR community is important because there are very few people of color in almost every room at seminars, conferences, and work spaces related to this field. Harry and the team at Biofeedback Resources would like to encourage more providers of color to learn about these tools and be able to use them to help their clients.
There should not be a disparity in the availability of this type of therapy for clients that are in Black communities. Because of location, cost, and availability, many clients are not able to access biofeedback or neurofeedback. Harry is hoping to change this fact by bringing information about biofeedback and neurofeedback to BTR.
Harry will be sharing information with the BTR community about how biofeedback and neurofeedback allow us to use technology to quantify the mind body relationship. These are tools that have many applications including therapeutically for issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, insomnia, headaches, substance abuse, traumatic brain injury, and concussion. It also has research applications because it allows us to record physiology pre, during, and post other interventions that therapists are already using.
