We are a community invested in the practice of integrating #spirituality into our work. 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.
In Therapeutic Friendships, Chris ORear provides accessible tools for deeper connection, conflict navigation, and compassionate support. His insights help readers build healthier and more grounded relationships.

A favorite #veteransday story: a younger veteran visits restaurants offering free meals, looks for older veterans eating alone, and sits with them to talk and make real connection. A simple act, but powerful. What inspiring stories have you heard?
