Our Hands
A compassionate touch is one of the most fundamental, basic ways of communicating care and support.
Through the use of our four tools, educators and caregivers are taught that they themselves are instruments of peace, bringing messages of non-violence, forgiveness, empathy and total acceptance. These tools are not fancy, tricky to use, or expensive. They are things that we use everyday to connect with those around us — our hands, our eyes, our words, and our presence. Our tools are instruments to connect and build relationships with those around us.
