CASC/ACSS COVID-19 Network of Support
As we collectively navigate through COVID-19, CASC/ASCC has established a network of support, including resources for coping with and navigating through this pandemic, education tools and an outreach program. Click here to view.
The CASSC/ACSS Certified Members Outreach Program facilitates the opportunity for support from our CASC/ACSS Certified Members. Our goal is to help inquiring organizations or individuals across the country source Spiritual Care Practitioners and Psycho-Spiritual Therapists who are available to assist in response to the increased need for positive impact on overall health and well-being.
