Sidewalk Talk

??? We’re hitting the road! The Sidewalk Talk Bus Tour is coming to a city near you in May— and we’re bringing a simple but powerful theme with us: Community Care. What if everything we stood for centered around care for one another? What if our policies, our workplaces, our families, our neighborhoods… all asked: “How can we care for our community today?” ?? This Mental Health Month, we’re dreaming big. Because when community care becomes the heartbeat of our culture, mental health stops being a crisis — and starts being a shared sense of purpose. Come see us. Come listen. Come be listened to. Let’s build a more caring world — one sidewalk at a time. https://lnkd.in/erTfwfVY #SideWalkTalk #MentalHealthUSA #USA #Louisville #KansasCity #StLouis #columbus #cincinnati #Pittsburg #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthRecovery #EndTheStigma #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #SelfCareMatters #AnxietyAwareness #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalHealthAdvocate #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #SelfCare #SelfLove #Depression #Love #Health #Wellness #HeartCentered #PersonalDevelopmentJourney #PersonalGrowthJourney #SelfGrowth #MentalHealthSupport #community #CommunityCare

Imagine this as your daily news feed: ?????????????????? ???????? ????????????: ???????? ?????????????????? ???????? ???????????? ???? ?????? ???????? ?????????? ?????? ??????????. This isn’t a fantasy. It’s the world we’re building—one sidewalk at a time.

?????????????? ??????????, ??????????????, ???? ?????????? ?????????? ?????? ?????? ?????????????????? ?????????????? ?????????????????? ?????????? ??????? You're not the only one. And you don't have to carry it alone. Join us for a Speaking & Listening Circle—a space to speak freely, be deeply heard, and connect in community. ?? Sunday, April 6 ?? 9–11am PT / 12–2pm ET ?? Online Sliding scale $20–$75 (Free if you’ve already donated to the Sidewalk Talk bus tour) We’ll use a powerful format inspired by Mehr Demokratie in Berlin, Germany—where small groups gather, and each person is given 4 uninterrupted minutes to speak from “I” statements. Then we switch small groups again. No cross-talk. No fixing. Just honest, grounded presence. The question we’ll explore: “How do you feel in relation to all the changes this U.S. administration is making?” This isn’t about agreeing—it’s about speaking and listening. With your whole self. And feeling held and heard in a community with presence. ?????????? ???????? ?????? ???????? ???? ????????: bit.ly/ComeBeHeard All proceeds go directly to supporting the Sidewalk Talk listening bus tour in May! Thank you for that!!! #ListeningIsHealing #PoliticsAndMentalHealth #ComeBeHeard

Listening isn't just about hearing words—it's about understanding the person behind them. When we listen to understand, we create space for genuine connection and empathy. At Sidewalk Talk, we believe that true connection comes from understanding, not just responding. By practicing active listening, we can bridge divides, reduce loneliness, and foster a more inclusive community. Join us in this mission by volunteering, donating, or simply starting a conversation. Together, we can make the world a more connected place.

At Sidewalk Talk, we believe that conversations about politics don't have to divide us. Our "Wish You Knew Me" program is designed to help people listen beyond differences, fostering understanding and empathy across political divides. By engaging in open-hearted listening, we can bridge gaps and build a more connected society. This initiative empowers individuals to engage in constructive and empathetic dialogues about their beliefs, promoting deeper understanding and respect. By embracing the art of listening, we can create spaces where diverse perspectives are valued, leading to more meaningful and respectful conversations. . . #SideWalkTalk #MentalHealthUSA #USA #SanFrancisco #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthRecovery #EndTheStigma #Mindfulness #PersonalGrowth #SelfCareMatters #AnxietyAwareness #EmotionalWellbeing #MentalHealthAdvocate #ItsOkayToNotBeOkay #SelfCare #SelfLove #Depression #Love #Health #Wellness #HeartCentered #PersonalDevelopmentJourney #PersonalGrowthJourney #SelfGrowth #MentalHealthSupport?
