COMMUNITY CARE
We’ve been noticing that it’s getting harder for people to feel connected—to each other and to a larger sense of purpose. The “loneliness epidemic” is real, and it affects both mental and physical health. Too much isolation has been linked to higher risks of heart disease, stroke, and even dementia in older adults.
Therapy is powerful, but deep healing rarely happens alone. That’s why Good Practice Therapy offers Community Care Events: workshops, Q&As, groups, and experiential gatherings that are therapeutic in nature but are not therapy. These events create space for connection, learning, and mutual support.
Most Community Care Events are free or offered on a sliding scale and are open to everyone—whether you’re currently working with one of our clinicians or not. Join us to build connection, practice self-care, and find community. Book a free consultation to learn more.
