Support Emotional First Aid Efforts for Hurricane Helene Survivors

We are the medicine

The loneliness epidemic is making us sick. Despair around disconnection is real.

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.

We envision a world where everyone belongs, where resilient and compassionate communities thrive in a slower world—a world people no longer wish to escape from, but live in together.

There is no mental health without social health.

There is an increasing lack of meaningful connection and community in society that has burgeoned into a devastating loneliness epidemic.

The trauma that goes hand-in-hand with isolation is driving many of the physical health, mental health and substance use crises we face as a country.

The science is clear: Loneliness is clearly correlated with risk for cardiovascular disease, obesity, depression, dementia and premature death. It’s also directly linked to mental health crises and fatalities across demographics. There are correlations between rising levels of loneliness and suicides rates, overdose deaths, hospitalizations for psychosis, and incidents of 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.
