Welcome to Pittsburgh Social Health!
Est. 2023
We’re bringing back the art of hanging out.
In case you haven’t heard: We are experiencing an epidemic of loneliness and social isolation.
Pittsburgh Social Health is doing something(s) about it:
Emphasizing the importance of third spaces
Hosting unique events at third spaces around town
Cultivating a sense of belonging in the ‘Burgh
Our Why
Community is essential to health and well-being. Social isolation not only negatively impacts mental health, it is also linked to negative physical outcomes.
Building a supportive network takes time, and it can be difficult to know where to start. As we age and after major life events (e.g. moving, marriage, career or lifestyle change), it is not uncommon to lose friends and feel lonelier.
That’s why we’re here!
Our goal is to help fellow community-seekers find a sense of belonging, deepen their connections, and amplify all the social health-friendly spaces that our vibrant community has to offer.
What We Do
Curate programming that
supports IRL connection + belonging
From brewery tours to art workshops, we partner with local leaders, organizations, and businesses to offer attendees an opportunity to explore their city and connect with other Pittsburghers.
Psst — If you are interested in partnering on programming, drop us a line over here.
Share resources that promote
social health
With a passion for reducing loneliness and increasing belonging in Pittsburgh, we aim to share tools and resources that support overall wellness, physically, mentally, and socially.
Ranging from book recommendations and thinkpieces about the struggles of Gen Z to interviews with mental health clinicians, our goal is to provide media that inspires and empowers.
Increase recognition of social health
as a pillar of overall wellness.
Social health is a big deal and we believe it is a topic we will continue to hear more about. The more that we prioritize social connection, the more physically, mentally, and socially healthy we will be.
Engaging proactively around social health may offset negative physical and mental health outcomes and reduce the impacts of the Loneliness Epidemic.
