Unpacking these "whys" is essential for understanding risk-related usage patterns and their relationship with sleep health.

The #Psychotherapy Commission represents a community of people who are invested in the practice of integrating #spirituality into the work they are doing. This focus on spirituality may be connected to the work done by a volunteer helper, a #spiritual #healer, or a licensed mental health practitioner. We offer training for all types of helpers with attention to the ethical standards required within those communities. To help connect practitioners with one another, we also initiate gatherings that are identified as Communities of Practice as well as webinars and conferences expected in professional and volunteer helping fields.
