Course Info Title

DEVELOPING COMPETENCY

Competency of Practitioner is gained through practice and continued study as well as participation in community practice groups, attending retreats, etc. Beginners are encouraged to practice on themselves, family, and friends. The number of years a person has been actively practicing Therapeutic Touch is the best indicator of competence.

Year long programs for the purpose of developing expertise are available from some advanced teachers.

REFERRAL SERVICE (416)65-TOUCH
CONNECTING INDIVIDUALS WITH PRACTITIONERS

Patients in hospital may request in writing for Therapeutic Touch to be part of their nursing plan of care. If the hospital cannot make this available, a practitioner from outside the institution may be contacted by the family through the TTNO referral service.

When a request for a Practitioner is made, a TTNO Recognized Practitioner is referred. It is up to the requesting person to contact the Practitioner and discuss fees.

Both patients and practitioners are encouraged to report their experiences to the TTNO. All information is confidential.
