JOIN US FOR THERAPEUTIC TOUCH AWARENESS WEEK MAY 6-12

Therapeutic Touch Awareness Week (TT Awareness Week) is an annual Canada-wide event to promote awareness of Therapeutic Touch. We celebrate and strengthen our involvement in our communities, while also seeking to develop new community connections.

The TT Awareness Week Task Group works every year to update our resources, sharing them as widely and in as many ways as possible.  They also organize workshops that bring members together to engage with one another about issues/topics concerning community presentations.

Last year was deemed another very successful year and we are grateful to the Task Group for their ongoing commitment and hard work.

It's never too early to begin making connections for next year's outreach, so start thinking ahead. Get started right now by downloading the Outreach Activity Registration form now.

Check out the PowerPoint presented at the 2019 Congress summarizing TT Awareness Week from 2017-2019.
