CET was formed 15 years ago as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charity, and has had particular success reaching the consumer and patient public with clear information about the benefits and risks of light therapy, and guidance toward professional care.

With the 2009 publication of our manual for clinicians – the first in the field! – CET has turned in earnest to providing comprehensive resources for clinicians who are ready to learn about or work with light or wake therapy, or their synergistic combination.

Development and execution of our program – which is still nascent from the vantage point of mainstream clinical application – relies extensively on the volunteer time and effort of CET’s board and scientific/medical advisers. But we also have significant expenses of operations, publication and website development and management, for which we need your financial support. We also need to enhance our resources for research support and clinical trials.

Unlike the pharmacotherapies, the major thrust for implementation remains noncommercial: our techniques are not designed to make a profit. This is a case where the profession needs to take initiative on behalf of patients, and patients also need to support the effort.

We urge you and your contacts to consider private, foundation, and unrestricted corporate support for CET. Contributions will be formally acknowledged and are tax deductible. You can use the DONATE button below, but you are also most welcome to contact our Director of Development, Nikki Hafezi, for discussion about how your contribution can have the best programmatic impact.


Sincerely yours,


The CET Board
