RECEIVE TRAINING AND GAIN EXPERIENCE IN PROVIDING TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE
​How to help
AWB NL trains and supports volunteers in creating and operating mobile clinics across the Netherlands and the rest of Europe. If you want to help, please donate your time, skills, or money to our efforts. Our work is volunteer-based, so your donation will go straight to helping us facilitate treatments for vulnerable populations who need it.

Opportunities
We have been offering training in NADA protocol and Battlefield Acupuncture in the Netherlands, since 2022. We support Team Leaders by providing supplies and specialized training in the safe operation of mobile clinics. Team Leaders form their own teams to provide free community acupuncture treatments for pain and symptoms associated with PTSS.
​
We are currently developing a more formal training program to support future Team Leaders and volunteers. If you are a Registered Acupuncturist or other health care worker, we would love to have you!
We are also in direct communication with Dutch professional organization, Zhong, and local acupuncture schools, to expand internship opportunities for students.
Please contact us if you would like more information on training or setting up a mobile clinic.

Dear AWB NL Community:
​​
As of 30 May, 2024, AWB has been recognized by the Dutch tax authorities as an official ANBI organization!!!! This means you may be able to deduct your contributions to AWB from your Dutch income tax or corporate income tax.
​
This also means AWB can focus on raising funds so that we can expand our operations in the Netherlands. What is on our agenda?
​
* We can now proceed with obtaining additional professional liability insurance for our volunteers. If you would like to be involved with raising funds for us to pay for this additional insurance policy, please contact us;
​
* We are talking to multiple Dutch acupuncture schools about creating more clinical internship opportunities for students;
​
