2026 Celebrating 10 years, Going Worldwide
TTAW is celebrating our 10th anniversary! Since 2017 the TTNO and our extended members, have engaged approximately 4,515 people: 3,224 members of the public and 1,200 practitioners. Together we've worked with over 400 community partners - 47% who were new and 53% who were existing partners. This year we hope to engage, support, and celebrate TT Branches, practice groups and members world-wide.
​
The Webinar this year for all members is on Tuesday March 10, from 7-8:45 pm (EST) via Zoom
& will feature invited guests who will be sharing stories of outreach experiences
that will get you thinking about moving beyond your comfort zone.

​More Information on Therapeutic Touch Awareness Week
The TTAW is a province wide initiative to promote the awareness of Therapeutic Touch®, celebrate & strengthen our involvement in our communities, & develop new community connections.
The WE-TTNO ~ the Windsor-Essex Branch of the Therapeutic Touch® Network of Ontario continue to be leaders in Ontario during the Awareness Week. In 2026, we are planning for another amazing week of activities to celebrate Therapeutic Touch through TT sessions, education & displays. We are so effective because you are a WE-TTNO member. It is through your participation we are able to provide multiple activities, & touch many in our community.
​
There are a number of ways you can be involved in the TTAW here in Windsor-Essex:
-
Facilitate an outreach location, determine the date, time, & location, plus recruit the number of practitioners you anticipate needing for your location
-
Sign up to help at one, or more of the outreach locations
-
Provide a talk or display about Therapeutic Touch® at a location or with a group
-
Provide 'personal' sessions within your own circle of friends or family, or work group
-
Invite someone you know, or who you have provided a TT session for to the "Bring a Buddy" night on May 12th at the Daybreak location - flyers to be provided before the week
-
Share Flora Hartleib's Workshop Flyer (in May) with interested persons - to be held at the Daybreak location
​
Note: All activities need to be registered with the TTNO, which will be done by
Flora Hartleib for the WE-TTNO Branch (Windsor & Leamington).
The 'Event Leader' / Facilitator should send the information (location, date, time & title)
as soon as you have all the details - also determine the minimum number of practitioners you wish to be a part of your event. This will allow us to post it here on the website.
If you need a display board or handouts for the event let Flo know.
