Mission: Integrative Touch (InTouch) supports families whose children have any type of special health or medical need. This includes kids with cancers, genetic conditions, autism, cerebral palsy, traumatic stress, and other serious health issues. We reach 3500 people each year and provide more than 100 different integrative healing therapies such as massage, sound healing, reflexology, energy, equine, play and music therapies through our many programs. InTouch works in both the hospital and community settings to change the way people view healthcare. We engage communities in support of families struggling with special medical needs, improving the quality of life for all. Thanks to the incredible support of our volunteers and contributors, families receive our healing services free of charge.
