COMMUNITY CARE
We don’t know about you, but we’ve been noticing that it’s increasingly difficult for people to feel connected to each other and to a greater purpose these days. The “loneliness epidemic” is real, and it has real implications for our mental (and physical health). Maybe you’ve heard that too much isolation and loneliness can be as bad for you - like a 29% increased risk of heart disease; a 32% increased risk of stroke; and a 50% increased risk of developing dementia for older adults type of bad for you.
And while we love therapy (obviously!) we know that real deep healing can never truly happen in isolation. That’s why Good Practice Therapy is dedicated to including Community Care Events in our offerings. These are workshops, Q&As, events or groups that are therapeutic but not therapy.
These events are free or sliding scale, and can be accessed by anyone, regardless of if you are a therapy patient with us.
