Programs

Connection is part of wellness.

Beryllium's commitment to mental wellness extends beyond individual appointments. Our community programs create opportunities for connection, education, movement and shared experiences throughout the year.

Programs & Experiences

Four ways to gather with Beryllium.

Community programming is separate from psychiatric treatment and from Life Coaching. These are spaces for conversation, education, movement and connection — not clinical care. Details are published only once they are confirmed.
