A Free Training for our Community November 2-3

With the devastation wrought by Hurricane Helene, Jung Tao School is returning to our previous work and CE events held pre-pandemic to offer free, high quality Chinese medicine to people in need.

We are offering a free online weekend training November 2-3 for practitioners, students and others interested in volunteering in support of the region. We would like to build a pool of volunteers to widen our impact. This training is also to support those of you who want to or have already begun to offer free healthcare projects to your local communities.

The class will focus on the delivery of acupuncture and Chinese medicine to communities recovering from disasters such as we have just experienced. We will have guest speakers from our JTS community and beyond. We will cover logistics and considerations for bringing care to disaster relief efforts as well as how to build sustainability for the long haul. The class will also address trauma informed care, secondary trauma and self-care for first responders and health care workers. We will explore best practices for team building as volunteers, as well as how to be in partnership with communities served. We will hear from folks in the field who have experience over many years, as well as those who are engaged now in responding to Hurricane Helene.
