Building trust, easing suffering, and restoring humanity in our communities.
Compassion, dignity, and presence for those living on the margins.
From compassionate touch to community partnerships, CTI restores dignity and well-being, building a more just, caring, and connected San Francisco.
A Legacy of Care, A Future of Healing
For over 40 years, CTI has brought healing, dignity, and connection to San Francisco’s unhoused and marginalized communities through trauma-informed massage and compassionate presence. In that time, CTI has delivered more than 60,000 sessions to individuals facing daily hardship, trained over 1,000 volunteer therapists in its trauma-informed approach—long before the term became widespread—and partnered with 12 sites across the city to provide consistent weekly care.
How Your Support Matters
A small donation creates a big impact. Your support helps provide free massage to unhoused and marginalized communities, train trauma-informed practitioners, sustain volunteers, and expand CTI’s reach to new neighborhoods.
