ORGANIZATION: SeekHealing

  • 3 people are interested

SeekHealing is a Nonprofit organization that utilizes awareness and connection practices to combat the loneliness epidemic in the US, with the purpose of overcoming rampant trauma, addiction, overdose and deaths of despair.


We give to others on the days when we feel strong so that we can receive from someone else lifting us up on the days when our strength is lacking! We all need connection, now more than ever. SeekHealing is re-educating the world on how to be in a connected community together. Part of the way we are doing this is through Seeker Missions: Random acts of kindness that will support those who are struggling with challenges such as addiction, mental-health, and isolation that has happened as a result of Covid. One of our Seeker Missions is to provide emergency rides for folks who are impacted by a life-challenge, feel like giving-up and need help with transport.
