Tikvah Connect Update Events for members in their 20s 30s and 40s

We are excited to announce that Tikvah and Tribe12 are teaming up under the name TRIBE TIKVAH. We will be organizing events together and fostering a community for adults in their 20s and 30s who are passionate about promoting mental wellness for themselves and others.

Our first joint event is coming up this month on August 6th. We will be working with Comfort Caring Canines to bring an afternoon with therapy dogs!
