How the clinic works
We do not make diagnoses or prescribe drugs. Providers in the Truth Clinic are healthcare professionals who have taken our Clown Healing Workshop, where they have learned the principles of brief therapeutic encounters and ways of incorporating them into their clinical practice.
In the Truth Clinic we come to people with an open heart and a willingness to listen without judgment.
What the clinic does
- Creates a format that eliminates the need for scheduling, paperwork and diagnosis, instead creating an environment that prioritizes wellness.
- Establishes brief yet meaningful exchanges where patients are met by a provider who is less burdened, recharged, and has the capacity to connect personally.
- Develops a public outreach model that brings healing work to broader communities, connecting directly with groups often marginalized with little or no access to care.
