What we’re about
About Healing Path Community
We are a Chicago-based nonprofit offering free mental health group walks and virtual healing sessions, all led by licensed therapists.

Our mission is urgent and deeply human: to prevent suicide on local nature trails, where too many lives have ended in silence. We exist to create hope-filled spaces that let people breathe, process, and heal — before crisis becomes tragedy.
Each walk or session supports emotional healing around topics like anxiety, grief, relationships, burnout, trauma, and identity — always with compassion, safety, and professional care.

🌱 In addition to therapy-led events, we also host community nature walks that are not therapy-focused — simply a chance to enjoy nature, connect with others, and build a supportive circle of care.

While all events are free to attend, we gratefully accept donations to help us:
- Compensate our licensed therapists
- Cover nature preserve admission fees
- Expand outreach to at-risk individuals and families
- Equip communities with mental health resources before they reach the breaking point
By supporting Healing Path Community, you're not just joining a walk — you're helping prevent someone else’s final walk.
Let’s walk hope back into our trails, our families, and our lives — together.
