Community Connection

Because no one should face life alone.

Life is full of ups and downs—but having people around you can make all the difference. At Myrtle House, we care deeply about the emotional, mental, and social wellbeing of our community. Whether you're feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or simply looking for connection, this is a place where you’re seen, supported, and always welcome.

Our wellbeing and connection support offers space to talk, tools to cope, and opportunities to build friendships and confidence—because we believe that thriving communities start with connected people.
