The work we can do together

Show up where support is needed.

Hypnotists have tools for relaxation, coping and resilience. We know how to calm anxiety, reduce pain, and reframe the negative.

A-CHA encourages members to offer their time pro bono, working alongside community organizations and within their professional training and scope.

Offer calming, supportive sessions to patients and families in hospitals, hospices and other care settings where qualified volunteers are welcomed.

Tragedy & Community Disasters

When a community faces tragedy or disaster, join a thoughtful local response that offers comfort, steadiness and practical support.

When your community faces a mass shooting, evacuation, trauma or disaster, where can you help?

Could you offer a caring conversation, a session to help calm fears, or steady support as people begin to move forward? Your presence and skills can help lift others when they need it most.

Our purpose

Professional integrity. Human kindness.

We support ethical hypnosis practice, continued learning and a network of professionals who are willing to give back. Membership is an invitation to bring your skills to people who might otherwise go without support.
