The World Health Organization put a number on it last year: 1 in 6 people worldwide is affected by loneliness, and loneliness and social isolation are linked to an estimated 100 deaths every hour; that's more than 871,000 a year.

Today begins National Su***de Prevention and Awareness Month.

When we picture prevention, we picture the last moment: a hotline, an intervention, someone talked back from an edge. Those matter enormously. But most prevention happens much earlier and looks far more ordinary,a person who notices, a standing invitation, somewhere to be on a Thursday, a friend who asks a second question.

That unglamorous middle is the part that gets under-built. It's the part we work on.

All month we'll share the research, the practices, and the free programming we use to build it. Follow along!

Love doesn't stop when someone dies. Neither does the need to say their name out loud.

On August 31, our community gathers for International Overdose Awareness Day, to remember the people we've lost with the tenderness they always deserved. Not statistics. Not headlines. People. Someone's kid. Someone's best friend. Someone's whole world.

We'll say their names. We'll sit with what's heavy. And we'll remind each other that the love doesn't go anywhere. 💜

Bring their photo. Bring their memory. Or just bring yourself.

RSVP today!

Some of us are grieving. Some of us are healing. All of us belong in the same room. 💜

On International Overdose Awareness Day, we're coming together to remember the people we've lost, stand with the people still fighting, and hold on to what we know is true: connection is medicine.

No speeches you have to sit through. No judgment. Just your community, showing up for each other.

📅 Monday, August 31
⏰ 5pm to 8pm
📍 Carrier Park (Asheville, NC)

Come as you are. Bring someone who needs it. RSVP: https://www.meetup.com/seekhealing/events/315793755/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=332011424

With so many recent and rapid changes in culture and technology, we have to go looking, on purpose, for the friction the world used to hand us by default.

This National Wellness Month, a reminder that the wellness checklist has a social line item: water, sleep, movement and one real conversation. Connection is wellness.

Gen Z has a name for it now: friction-maxxing. We've called it Rule Zero for years, if something feels awkward to say, and you're not saying it out of fear, find a way to say it.

In her new article, our co-founder Jenesis makes the case that awkwardness isn't a bug in connection, it IS the connection. And like any muscle, it gets stronger with reps.

Read it, then say the awkward thing 💜
