Activate Whole-Human Wellness at Your Next Event!

From conferences and summits to retreats, webinars, collective dialogue, immersive training, and educational series, Stronger U and THRIVE Lifeline partner to help member-based organizations, professional societies, private practices, and community groups design and deliver meaningful, high-impact wellness experiences.

As an event organizer for a professional society, association, private practice, or grassroots community group, you’re tasked with delivering more than just content. You’re asked for meaningful connection, transformation, peer support, and sustainable impact — all while staying on budget, on brand, and aligned with your mission.

Perhaps you’re facing:

  • Attendee fatigue or disengagement
  • Difficulty integrating values-aligned professional and personal growth content that captivates your constituents
  • Limited internal resources or expertise to deliver high-quality peer support, individualized care, personal reflection, or wellness programming.
  • The need to demonstrate ROI (engagement, retention, value) to your board or membership.
  • A desire to offer unique experiences: immersive retreats, customized educational experiences, facilitated peer support groups, on-site, dedicated 1:1 attendee drop-in support, private anonymous lifeline support
  • Attend

“Thank you so much for all your work on training our [STEMM departments’] staff and faculty! We’ve done several other programs on mental health but this program had the best engagement by far, and our preliminary survey results indicate the strong impact of the program as well.” ~K.S.

“This was an excellent program. We need open communication as a plural community about suicidal ideations and about alternatives to psych admissions. Of course, CPTSD people are prone to repeated suicidal ideations! Admissions do not help. We must have alternatives. I’m so impressed with Stronger U and with Ryder Fox.” ~Anonymous program participant

“The structure of the Non-Carceral Peer Supporter course really addresses diff learning styles and prepared me for the full certificate program. I liked how I could read something, then watch a video, reinforce my learning with a quiz, and then practice and get feedback. It felt very full circle. The examples were super helpful along with the charts. And then to have reflection questions for us and further practice in the assignments was sooo helpful.” ~Q.C.

Wow! One of our favorite presentations of the conference. Chock full of great info, which we hope we never have to use, but will be passing onto our therapist, just in case. Super validating to all our parts. Helped explain our past experiences, how others responded and how we can be better helped in the future.” ~Anonymous program participant
