Guidance |
The world of Touch for Health is dynamic in nature and has been full of changes throughout its history. TFHKA is built around the principles of sharing this knowledge through training, publications, promotional materials, demonstrations and sharing opportunities in communities. Much work has been accomplished by many dedicated people's efforts throughout the history of TFH. The TFHKA Education Committee is meant to continue this legacy. |
|
Overview |
The Education Committee is charged with watching over the TFHKA IKC/TFH classes to see how they can become better at meeting the goals of Touch for Health in the USA. The TFHKA training program sees a rather large drop off of students from the beginning to advanced levels. Why is this happening? Are there things that the Education Committee could investigate for finding ways to improve the process by addressing specific situations? |
|
Review |
Many new materials continue to be developed for Touch for Health. Some directly are related to TFH, some remotely related and some not at all. The TFHKA Bookstore, online and at conferences, sells many of these titles and products. When new titles or products are released, there is a need for them to be reviewed and approved or rejected for inclusion in the TFHKA bookstore. |
|
Conflict Resolution |
Occasionally, situations may arise that require interpretation and decisions by those most familiar with the purposes of the TFHKA Educational Program and its conduction. |
