“Belonging is not a soft outcome, it is a clinical one.” 🎾❤️

In the SoCal community, rivals become teammates and teammates become family. Whether it’s the bond between Jackson and Braun Levi, or the spirit of "showing up" at the Santa Monica Tennis Collective and Village Rising Foundation, these connections make us resilient.

Psychotherapist Susan Zinn calls this a “Vertical Community” that protects against anxiety and depression. This National Tennis Month and Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re celebrating the sport that keeps us connected and "fully alive."

Tag your "vertical community" below and click the link in our bio to see why your local court is a safety net for the soul. 🔗
