Support the Institute

The framework needs clinicians.

Your support underwrites the research, the curriculum, and the training of the people who will carry it into schools, congregations, hospitals, and security services.

The case for support

The Institute has three obligations. First, to keep the research honest: continually testing, refining, and defending the framework against real cases. Second, to build the curriculum that turns readers into clinicians. Third, to train the people who will teach it forward.

Every gift supports work that has no shortcut. Naming a disorder is a small act. Building the institution that treats it is not.

The IDS Institute is an initiative of the Community Training and Empowerment Foundation (CTEF), an Arizona nonprofit corporation. CTEF's application for federal 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status is pending; until that status is granted, contributions are not tax-deductible as charitable donations.
