Strive: A Community for Improvement and Ethical Living
Frederick, MD
Recent evidence shows that many of us value health and happiness, yet our communities are facing significant challenges in achieving meaningful results. A 2022 survey revealed a growing mental health crisis, with nearly half of young adults feeling anxious and a lack of access to mental health services, leaving many without the support they need. Alongside this, the physical health toll of the pandemic has caused anxiety and depression levels to quadruple, with rising suicide rates and overburdened emergency services highlighting the severity of the issue.
Despite these struggles, there is hope. People want to live better, happier lives. Surveys indicate that close relationships, human connection, and emotional health remain top priorities, while a growing political focus on mental well-being signals a shift toward positive change.
Do you want to be a better friend, parent, partner, or family member? Do you feel that making informed decisions is vital to you? Are you searching for more balance and purpose in life, yet struggling to figure out how to begin? Many of us are concerned about the direction the world is heading and want to avoid harmful cultural norms to positively impact our own lives, our families, and our communities. Perhaps you're seeking a safe space to be yourself, share your thoughts, or find accountability partners who support your growth. Are you interested in learning from experts, gaining advice, and exploring new perspectives on self-care? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, lonely, or even apathetic about life, or are you at a crossroads and unsure where to turn next?
Strive exists to explore how we can continue to improve the quality of our lives, together. It’s about promoting shared values, building healthier communities, and supporting individuals in their personal growth. If any of these questions resonate with you, then Strive may be the right fit for you. Join us in this journey to discover how we can thrive in a world that often feels overwhelming, by focusing on what truly matters.
