    Description

    Social health is the third pillar of health that impacts physical and mental health. Social health is having a community and relationships that help one feel better.

    The goal is to build a community of young adults who grew up with chronic physical and mental health conditions, like migraines, cystic fibrosis, autism, ADHD, epilepsy, sickle cell disease, anxiety, depression AND their peers.

    Outreach will be through social media, contacting disease and young adult groups. in person outreach at colleges, office buildings, religious spaces, health fairs, etc.

    The aim is to have fun! Weekly hangouts to meet for happy hour and lunch will be at Invisible Wave Headquarters in Rockville near Pike and Rose. Social pop-ups and workshops will be in third spaces.
