What is the Community?
The Provider Community is all about connecting and supporting Grow Therapy's growing network of providers. It aims to remove the isolation that often accompanies starting and running a private practice by connecting you with your peers. The community spaces are full of support, advice, and resources others have found helpful. Use the collective support of the Community to:
🙌 Ask questions to peers
📚 Seek resources on growing your practice
👫 Meet like-minded individuals also in private practice
How do I access the Community?
The Community is invite-only. As a provider, you will receive an invitation email once you create your provider portal. Once you've received your invitation, consider doing the following:
Create your community profile. Add your professional photo, write a bio explaining your niche and who you work with, and share your location and license type.
Introduce yourself here. The Community members are excited to learn more about you and help you when possible.
Engage with the Community by posting, commenting, and liking. If you ever feel lost or have questions, contact one of the Community Admins by messenger.
