A Simple Act of Healing
_edited.jpg)
Free Hugs is a community-based mental wellness activation offering warm, affirming human connection in public spaces, starting with a hug. Born from personal healing of spiritual, sexual and emotional traumas, this heart centered initiative that began in Germantown in 2023 is expanding across Philly to reduce loneliness and create joy at public events and festivals.
Why Does It Matter?
Hugs lower stress, anxiety, social isolation, and depression. They make mental wellness more visible and accessible in our communities. They remind people they’re seen, valued, and loved—especially in moments when they might feel most disconnected.
