A Safe Space for Black Healers

Threshold Social is a healing-centered social club for Black practitioners and creatives — offering restorative events, peer connection, and spaces to simply be.

As a Black healer, helper, or creative, you carry more than just your work. You navigate systemic barriers, cultural expectations, and the weight of holding space for others—often without a space of your own.
You deserve more than burnout. You deserve belonging.
Threshold Social was created for you.

YOU DESERVE BELONGING

Culturally-Rooted Wellness


Peer-led spaces for connection, reflection, and shared care — where you’re seen and supported.

The Impact We’re Creating Together

Membership is designed to support sustainability — not burnout — for Black professionals and practitioners doing care work.

  • Intentional events that nourish through food, conversation, culture, and collective care.

  • Confidential, affirming spaces to process life’s weight, foster healing, and build trust with others who understand.

  • Free and reduced-cost therapy for members, provided by licensed professionals within our network who reflect our values and lived experiences.

  • Group study sessions, access to prep materials, and accountability partners for those working toward clinical licensure (e.g., LCSW, LPC).

  • Hands-on training and project-based experiences for students or early-career practitioners to develop skills in culturally responsive, community-based care.

  • A curated, members-only directory highlighting Black wellness professionals, practitioners, and creatives—making it easier to connect, collaborate, and refer within a trusted community.

  • Support for Black practitioners seeking additional training, certifications, or attending wellness-related conferences.

HELP US EXPAND ACCESS TO CARE

Many of the people Threshold Social serves are caregivers, healers, and leaders — often carrying the weight of others while navigating their own need for support.

Questions You Might Be Holding

We know joining something new can come with questions. Here are a few things people often ask before stepping into Threshold.

  • Threshold is for Black professionals, practitioners, creatives, and changemakers seeking community-rooted wellness, support, and care — whether you’re actively practicing, in training, or simply seeking space to belong.

  • No. Community Membership is open to those seeking connection and healing spaces. Practitioner Membership is designed for those working in or training toward care-based professions.

  • That’s okay. You don’t have to figure it out alone. We’re happy to help you explore the option that aligns with your needs and current season. Reach out to us

  • Threshold Social is NOT a replacement for therapy. We offer community-based support, healing practices, and access initiatives that complement — not replace — clinical care.

  • Yes. Accessibility is a core value of Threshold Social. We actively work to reduce financial barriers through scholarships, sliding-scale options, and community-supported initiatives.
