About the Grant - Healing Touch Professional Association

Service to the Military

"All it really takes for a community to organize a Stand Down is a group of dedicated volunteers committed to assisting homeless veterans improve their situation."

The Healing Touch Professional Association (HTPA) is pleased to announce the extension of our association’s fund through the Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation to support practitioner's, student's, and instructor's participation at local and regional Military Events such as Stand Downs. Practitioners provide Healing Touch sessions for the military personnel and their families.

The goal of this extension is four-fold:

To empower our local practitioners to participate in Stand Downs and other similar events.
To allow Healing Touch Program's presence in charitable and community events, which increases good will and awareness at the local, state, and national levels.
To allow practitioners access to their local communities and to promote community awareness.
To increase the visibility of the Healing Touch Worldwide Foundation.
