Acceptance of Statement of Ethics and Conduct

Please read and accept the Statement of Ethics and Conduct of the Therapeutic Touch Network of Quebec.

I will conduct my practice of Therapeutic Touch in accordance with the generally accepted principles of Therapeutic Touch™ as developed by Dolores Krieger, Ph.D., R.N., and Dora Kunz. In advance of treatment sessions, I will make clear to the client any fees which I will charge for my service and I will ensure that all interpersonal transactions between me and the client are non-exploitive and essential to her/his care. I acknowledge that Therapeutic Touch may increase the rapport between the client and the practitioner. Therefore, I will keep all information in strict confidence. No one can be present at a treatment without the expressed permission of the client. I will not use Therapeutic Touch as a basis for psychotherapy, spiritual or other counselling unless I have the training and qualifications to do so, as well as the permission of the client. I will focus on the needs of the client and will refrain from discussing any of my problems or personal issues. I will regularly evaluate my strengths, limitations, and levels of effectiveness. I will strive for self-improvement and seek to enhance my abilities by means of further education and training. In any Therapeutic Touch session, I will maintain the highest integrity, keeping the interest of the client foremost, and I will conduct all sessions in a manner that upholds the reputation of Therapeutic Touch throughout the world. I will not hold the Therapeutic Touch Network of Quebec responsible for any consequences resulting from my practice of Therapeutic Touch. I understand that should the Therapeutic Touch Network of Quebec receive any complaints about me or my sessions, I will be notified of that complaint. If, after due process of investigation, a respectful resolution of any associated problems cannot be achieved, the TTNQ has the right to withdraw my name from the List of members, and/or my Recognized Practitioner Status may be removed.

Repeats of any of levels 1, 2 or 3 with someone other than your “Basic Level” teacher. One level may be taught by a teacher-in-training. During completion of your workbook attend and participate in a minimum of 3 TTNQ practice group sessions (a good place to get supervised practices.)

3. Practitioner workbook”: You may start to complete the workbook which includes 60 case studies.

4. You need to be a member in good standing. This means you have signed the

Annual Maintenance of Your TTNQ Recognised Practitioner Status

“Statement of Conduct and Ethic” and you have paid your yearly membership.

In order to maintain your RP status you are required to attend 1 TT event per year. These events may be a combination of the following:

Repeat of basic Levels Practice group Practice Day TTNQ Workshop

TT Convention TT Retreat Advanced TT courses

All events organized by TTNQ and TTNO are accepted as TT events. You can find them listed in the “In Touch” magazine.

Any other TT event should get TTNQ board approval before being accepted by the Practitioner liaison as an accountable TT event.

Achieving TTNQ Recognised Teacher Status

Teacher-in-Training:

Teacher-in-Training and Their Mentor

Must have completed their “Practitioner’s Workbook” and have received their “Recognized Practitioner’s” diploma. (RP) either from Québec or another province in Canada;
Must be a member in good standing with their provincial network (TTNQ) and their dues paid to date;
Must sign and abide by the “code of ethics”;
Must teach a minimum of one course per year to keep their ‘recognition’ status active or attend one Practice Day (8 hours);
The fees for their levels are not fixed i.e. they may charge what is considered a fair price for their courses;
The teaching of Level One to teaching Level Three must be scheduled over a minimum of three months.

Teacher-in-Training and Their Mentor

Only a recognized teacher (RT) may mentor a teacher-in-training;
The mentor may be from any province as long as the mentor is part of a Therapeutic Touch Network in Canada;
The mentor may charge a rate for their services. This rate is not fixed and may be judged reasonable by both parties;
The mentor must communicate with the “teacher liaison” of TTNQ to give updates on the nature of the Teacher candidate etc.

Teacher-in-Training Giving Courses

Teacher-in-Training and Their Mentor

Teacher-in-Training Giving Courses

The teacher-in-training will set up their courses according to the curriculum of the TTNQ and under the guidance of their mentor;
The mentor will attend and act as an “observer” of each of the three levels taught by the teacher-in-training. After each level has been taught; the teacher-in-training may teach as a “recognized” teacher of that level without the presence of their mentor;
The mentor after “observing” each level will sit with the Teacher-in-training and make helpful suggestions to improve their courses. This critique will be written and sent to the “teacher liaison”;
The teacher-in-training will receive a diploma of “recognized teacher” (RT) status and it will be published on our website. Their name will be added to the list of teachers on the network website.

Practitioner’s Workbook

The “Practitioner’s Workbook is considered part of the student’s advanced study. Those who purchase the workbook are strongly recommended to become a member of the TTNQ. In other words, to be a member of the Network is optional but for those considering giving treatments to the public (volunteer) or working for a fee; the student must be a member of the Therapeutic Touch Network of Québec.

Recognised Teacher taking a Sabbatical

If the teacher needs to take time off for one or two years due to personal issues; they must re-apply to the “teacher liaison” and take a “refresher” course with another recognized teacher of at least one level of TT. The “teacher liaison” may judge whether the teacher may continue teaching after a long absence and update said a teacher of any new changes within the network.

Teacher and Advertising

Teachers may advertise their levels on our website: www.ttnq.ca but are required to have them removed when the course is finished. All levels have a format i.e. level, location, date, time, cost, and contact information;
Any other courses put on the website by the said teacher must be approved by the Board of Directors. These courses must be “energy” related and connected to TT. For example; other modalities may not be advertised;
Teachers agree to have their names on our website, under ‘recognized teachers”, using their contact information or email.

Recognition of Practitioners of TT Outside the Province

Practitioners from other provinces are recommended to take their training in the province where they reside;
Practitioners moving to Québec who have taken levels from another province (their provincial network being a member of “TTNC” Therapeutic Touch Network of Canada) their levels will be recognized by the TTNQ.

Disputes Between Teachers

Any disputes or disagreements must be brought to the Teacher Liaison and an amicable solution will hopefully be obtained. If not, the teachers must contact the Board of Directors of TTNQ for a resolution of their problem;
Any unethical work (see Code of Ethics) done by a “recognized teacher” is unacceptable and the teacher will have their status as a “recognized teacher” revoked. A complaint received by the Board of Directors of unethical work would be reviewed by the board and the teacher before a final decision would be made.
