OUR STORY
BECAUSE WE CARE
Spirit Hive was founded on a simple, stubborn belief: that no one should have to face life's hardest moments alone.
It began as a haven - a place for people struggling with anxiety, depression and thoughts of suicide to find connection, support and a way through. That mission still beats at the heart of everything we do.
In 2021, Dr Karen Demmery took the helm as Executive Director and Chairperson, determined to carry Spirit Hive into its next chapter - one focused squarely on the people who need us most: young people and women.
Under Karen's leadership, Spirit Hive is building trauma-informed, women's-specific and youth-focused programs that turn good intentions into real support. Our Youth Leadership Program helps young people grow into confident, capable adults. Women's connection circles give women a place to be honest and held. Family programs help parents build the kind of home where kids feel safe to be themselves.
None of it would be possible without our volunteers - extraordinary people who give their time, skill and heart to grow this community and change lives along the way.
We're not a church. We're not religious. We're a community - and we're just getting started.
