Welcome to Shots with Shrinks (SwS)!
We’re thrilled to have you here! Shots with Shrinks was founded out of a passion for creating safe, welcoming spaces in our community where we can openly discuss mental health in a relaxed and engaging setting. We’re excited to see the stigma surrounding mental health gradually fading, allowing more people to feel comfortable talking about their experiences and learning about their mental well-being.
Our Vision: Three Key Goals
At Shots with Shrinks, we have three main goals that guide our mission:
- Fostering Open Conversations: We aim to spark discussions about mental health in a pressure-free environment. Each month, we introduce a specific topic to kickstart meaningful conversations, accompanied by bite-sized “shots” of wisdom related to that theme.
- Building Community: Making connections as adults can be challenging. SwS offers a unique opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and meet new people. Whether it’s a one-time connection or the beginning of a lasting friendship, we believe in the power of community to enhance our mental health journeys.
- Making Mental Health Care Accessible: We understand that weekly therapy sessions can be financially challenging for many. While our monthly meet-ups aren’t a substitute for professional counseling, they offer valuable opportunities for connection and education, supporting you on your mental health journey.
What to Expect on the SwS Blog
Here on the Shots with Shrinks blog, we’ll dive deeper into our monthly topics, providing resources and insights to help you implement what you’ve learned during our meet-ups. If you can’t attend a session or want to revisit the discussions, our blog will serve as a handy recap, filled with expanded insights and actionable takeaways.
Thank you for joining us on this journey toward greater mental health awareness and connection. We can’t wait to see the community we’ll build together!
