• Spiritual care and prayer
• Integrating faith and health, health and healing, and caring for those experiencing issues across the lifespan 
• A mentoring session, Service of Healing, and Service of Dedication

The program cost of $450 includes the participant workbook and a copy of the ANA’s practice standards for FCNs (this is a $100 value), and a binder of program specific materials. A small scholarship may be available to those who are not sponsored by a faith community. The cost also includes refreshments and some meals for the week!
