About Us

Care for the Healer (CFTH) is an organization built by Healers to stand as an advocate for ourselves, our colleagues, and our communities.

Healers strive to mend something broken - from spirits, minds, bodies, and ecosystems, to relationships, cultural paradigms, and experiences. A Healer is an individual that has the ability and willingness to create sustainable, positive change on behalf of others.

Our mission is to advocate for the wellbeing of all healers through a One Health lens.
Our Programs

Compassion: provide compassionate problem-solving and resource navigation assistance for both Healers themselves and those for whom they are caring;

Curiosity: reduce the stigma around emotional wellbeing through curiosity-driven learning;
Innovation: pursue novel approaches to physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing and healing.

Our Mission

Restore the wellbeing of the world's Healers through compassion, curiosity, and innovation.

CFTH stands as an advocate for Healers to understand and exercise their ability to enhance their own wellbeing and, consequently, be better able to serve in a healing and caregiver role to others.
CFTH works to provide resources and education that are geared towards our audience of Healers who are looking to understand the science behind, mechanisms of, and clinical applications for, both existing and emerging modalities of healing.

Our Vision

A global state of health - facilitated by Healers.

CFTH envisions a global community of Healers who are physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially healthy.
CFTH envisions a global state of health facilitated by Healers that have access to resources that are both for their own wellbeing and that are practically applicable in their work toward the wellbeing of others and our world.
CFTH envisions a global state of health that flourishes in kindness, reciprocity, and caring as opposed to domination and control; a state of health that is balanced on beauty and strength, power and compassion, honor and humility, mirth and reverence.

A state of complete health is one of physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Recognition of the interdependence of human, animal, and ecosystem wellbeing is essential to achieving a state of global, holistic health.

CFTH believes that a significant amount of physical, mental, emotional, and social healing must occur across both human and animal populations, as well as within the ecosystems that we all inhabit, in order to achieve a global state of wellbeing and health.

Healers are responsible for catalyzing this change - both within the individual patient (human and animal) as well as larger interconnected ecosystem.

Who is a Healer?
Aa Healer is an individual who has the ability and willingness to create or catalyze sustainable, positive change on behalf of others. A Healer strives to mend something broken - from spirits, minds, bodies, and ecosystems; to relationships, cultural paradigms, situations, and experiences.

A Healer contributes their skills with the intention of repairing or alleviating the root cause of dis-ease (lack of health and/or wellbeing). A Healer recognizes the need to adapt and evolve with the biological as well as cultural changes of their community and their patients. A Healer is committed to the continued growth of their knowledge and skillset.

Why do Healers need an advocate?

Healers utilize an emotional connection with our patients and their caregivers in order to provide compassion, support, and guidance. Often, this connection comes at a cost, particularly when a Healer is required to maintain a difficult emotional posture frequently or over a long period of time.

As essential workers for the wellbeing of the world, Healers are currently in need of support and resources to maintain their own wellbeing and, consequently, be better equipped to work toward the wellbeing of others.
