Welcome to The Connective
The Touch Institute is building a long-term ecosystem rooted in care, education, access, and connection. Our initiatives reflect how we show up in communities, how we support quality of life, and how we protect the integrity of this work as it grows.
Each initiative is designed to stand on its own while also strengthening the others. Together, they form a connected framework that allows care to remain thoughtful, ethical, and human.
Our Initiatives
Touch Is Medicine
Research readiness and quality-of-life initiatives focused on seniors and individuals with more complex needs. This work centers on reducing isolation, supporting nervous system regulation, and strengthening how care is documented and delivered.
Touch in Motion
Community education and outreach that brings therapeutic touch, learning, and conversation into accessible spaces. These offerings support seniors, caregivers, and communities through shared understanding and connection.
Community Care Access Fund
Efforts dedicated to expanding access to therapeutic touch for individuals who need it most, particularly when financial barriers limit care options.
Foundation and Governance
The structures, standards, and leadership that protect the mission of the Touch Institute and ensure this work remains ethical, transparent, and sustainable for the long term.
