Why we do this
Like so many acupuncturists across the world and in the ETCMA, we share your deep commitment to the wellbeing of others.
Care doesn’t stop at the clinic door
Every one of us came to acupuncture because we care about people. We see every day what a skilled, attentive acupuncturist can mean for someone who is struggling.
Yet many people go without help they might have found, simply because they have never had an accurate picture of what acupuncture has to offer them.
No one should miss out on help because of a misunderstanding.
Together, we can change that
None of us can change public understanding alone. As a community, speaking together across countries and languages, we can.
Each story shared, each post passed on, helps others discover that there may be another way forward. Over time, that is how avoidable suffering is reduced: one person, one conversation, one story at a time.
In our own words
The ETCMA World Acupuncture Awareness Day working group: who we are, and why this campaign is something we are dedicated to.
Care for others brought each of us into this profession.
Working together is how we extend that care further.
