Our journey started with recovery, but 1 Million Strong has always been about something bigger: the power of showing up for each other and building connection through purpose, meaning, and belonging.
We’re proud of where we’ve been and even more proud of where we’re going. Thank you for helping us evolve into a movement that can build real community for real support when life gets hard.

Mood Swings The Tour: Get a peek into life on the road with my tour diary series, sponsored by @join1millionstrong ! So thrilled to create a Sober space for concert goers leading sober lives to have a safe space to enjoy the MUSIC free of any outside forces or temptation from the outside world. I’m so thankful to take part in this beautiful initiative!
“I feel like we just clicked and never really left each other’s side.”
At Coachella and Stagecoach, we asked you tell us about how your closest friendships came to be, and your answers were full of love, understanding, and appreciation. These are the kinds of connections that help us feel our best, no matter what life throws our way. <3
#MentalHealthActionDay is a reminder that mental health needs attention and consistency, just like your body does.
Feeling good usually comes from the little things you do on a regular basis, like grabbing your crew and doing something you love. Walking, cooking, making stuff, yapping on Facetime… literally anything counts!
Send this to the friend who’s always down to do something fun with you.

How to maximize a hobby:
Step 1: Do it with other people.
THAT’S IT!
Doing things you enjoy alongside others creates connection. Whether it’s with people you already know or strangers who share your interests, you’re driving community and building a support system.
So the next time you do one of these famously solo activities, invite some friends, or join strangers in a class or communal space! Let us know which hobby you’re maximizing in the comments.
#MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #CommunityThroughHobbies
Community care is already part of your life: group chats, meeting up with friends to do hobbies, and showing up for your people.
@giveanhour helps you take that care even further, to people who could really use it. Their Trauma-Informed Peer Support (TIPS) training helps individuals build skills to support others in meaningful, trauma-informed ways, and their Virtual Peer Support Groups offer free spaces to connect over shared experiences.
If you’re passionate about mental health or want to make a difference in your community, get involved with Give An Hour. Learn more in our resources highlight!

It’s #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth! To celebrate, we’re talking about ✨hobbies✨
Feeling connected to others is a powerful way to support your mental wellness, and hobbies can be a great way to get there.
Think about it: when you have something you show up for regularly (whether with friends or strangers), you're investing time in yourself, and creating space for consistent connection and community. And that feels gooooood.
Over the month, we’ll be checking in to explore hobbies and how they can help you connect with others to feel your best! Stay tuned <3

Happy #NationalConcertDay! 🎶 There’s nothing like screaming lyrics with hundreds of people to remind us how connected we really are – and how those shared moments can leave us a little better than we came, with new friends, a new favorite song, and maybe even a new perspective.

#NationalFitnessDay is a great reminder that consistent movement does as much good for the body as it does for the mind—especially when you do it with your people. No pressure, no perfect routine—just consistently showing up together. Whether it’s a walk, a workout, or a pickup game, these small moments add up, and they’re more fun when you’re with people who get you.

Y’all … Stagecoach was a festival to remember! 🤠
All weekend, you showed that building community isn’t just fun—it fuels your mental well-being. The love, connection, and comfort experienced at Stagecoach is a feeling that will stay with you long after it’s over. We’re grateful for everyone who showed up and made it matter. Hope to see you next year!
Y’all really showed up and showed out for Coachella weekend 2! From leaving your stories on our wall and telling us how your community makes you feel seen to capturing memories in our photobooth and making new friends, connection was all around at our space.
It just goes to show that the magic of the festival goes beyond the headliners. ‘Til next year, Coachella!
Coachella with your people just hits different. Music brings us together, the rest is up to us. Where are you headed next, and who’s got you when it matters?
