How you can help keep IFTAS going:

1. Spread the word: Raising awareness about our funding challenges can help us connect with potential funders, partners, and supporters.

Share our fundraising overview (https://about.iftas.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/2024-2025-IFTAS-Overview.pdf).

We know most funders cannot move quickly, so for now, we are accepting pledges.

Boosts really help if you don't know anyone personally.

Our panel on Tuesday afternoon is the single event I am *most excited about* at #CSCW2024. Our community dearly needs to balance AI hype against thoughtful opportunities to integrate #AI into mental & spiritual healthcare. Add it to your schedule!

Panelists include Munmun De Choudhury, Diana Freed, Rev. George Handzo (a preeminent spiritual care expert with 150+ papers), and myself, moderated by Jingjin Li.
