Maintaining TTRP & TTRT Status

To maintain Recognized Practitioner Status, individuals must demonstrate competence in areas of education, practice and professional development every two years by completing a written self-evaluation documentation/checklist*. In addition to providing Therapeutic Touch™ sessions in accordance with the generally accepted principles of TT™ as developed by Dolores Krieger, PhD., RN, and Dora Kunz, participation in activities to maintain currency in TT may include the following:

 

  • attending national or international TT conferences
  • TT retreats
  • TT workshops
  • teaching TT
  • presenting at TT conferences, gatherings
  • performing research that focuses on TT
  • volunteering
  • working on a TT committee
  • writing TT article(s)
  • mentoring TT students
  • reading books, articles, watching videos/DVDs

 

A minimum of 16 hours of TT studies, as described above, is required over a 2 year period. Exceptional cases will be considered.

 

Note: Should you be an isolated member of the TT community, reading books, articles, journaling TT sessions, having discussions on Therapeutic Touch™ is highly recommended, and is acceptable as a means of self development. Please send a summary of your personal growth and how the new knowledge is applicable to your practice.

 *Your self-evaluation documentation/checklist must be submitted to BCTTNS Education Chair with sufficient documentation to support your evaluation.
