Therapists Touch Grass
A free, casual field day and picnic for mental health professionals at every stage. Come with your therapist besties, put together a team, or come by yourself and meet some new people. You don’t have to know anyone to join us.
Just a chance to get outside, connect, move, laugh, and have a little fun.
