Now accepting applications for Social Health Facilitation Training (SHFT)
SeekHealing offers non-profit social health programs that bring people together to heal trauma and ignite mutual support within communities. We facilitate the power of authentic relationship and human connection.
The science is clear: Our society faces a devastating loneliness epidemic that’s fueled by a lack of meaningful connection and community.
The trauma of social isolation is deeply linked to physical and mental health crises, including increased risks of heart disease, obesity, depression, and premature death. Rising loneliness also correlates with higher rates of suicide, overdose, psychosis, and domestic violence.
In response to the loneliness crisis and its impact, there is a new wave of social health organizations emerging to support more effective delivery of mental health and social support services to those most disproportionately impacted.
In 2018, SeekHealing was one of the first social health organizations in the US to successfully pilot a model for dedicated social health programming, which it demonstrated in both rural and urban communities in Western North Carolina.
Ideal for for anyone seeking to fill their life with more meaningful connection -- including those struggling with mental health or addiction challenges, as well as their family members -- Listening Training teaches a new way of relating with each other in a world where authentic relationship is scarce.
Cutting edge education in communication skills, harm reduction boundary-setting and relational learning. Interactive format that empowers individuals to connect with each other and experience transformational healing.
