About Practical Hug
Self-help done together
We're a community support platform offering practical and emotional support to make life easier. We're not perfect people on high telling you what to do. We're in the messy middles too, offering tools (not prescriptions) and being in your corner while you figure things out.
What we're NOT
- Perfect people on high
- Here to tell you what to do
- Caring if you do things our way
- Thinking you can change circumstances alone
- Guaranteeing outcomes
What we ARE
- In the messy middles too
- Aware we don't know your circumstances
- Offering tools, not prescriptions
- Acknowledging systems impact lives
- Just wanting people to have more tools and to know they're not alone
We may not solve your problem, but we will keep looking for tools to help and be in your corner while you do it.
