✂️ Welcome to The Shepherd’s Chair ✂️ Where barbering meets hope, healing, and human connection. Hey everyone — I’m James Wells, and I started this community because I’ve seen firsthand how something as simple as a haircut can change someone’s day… and sometimes, their life. The Shepherd’s Chair is all about using barbering as a bridge — a way to reach people in active addiction or mental health crisis who might feel invisible, isolated, or unheard. In the barber’s chair, there’s no judgment — just a safe, welcoming space to talk, breathe, and be treated with respect. Through conversation, care, and connection, we aim to: 💈 Give people a moment of dignity and self-worth 💬 Offer a safe space to open up 🤝 Guide them towards services and support when they’re ready ❤️ Show that someone genuinely cares This community is for barbers, supporters, mental health advocates, and anyone who believes in compassion over stigma. Together, we can use our skills, time, and voices to make real change in people’s lives. If this speaks to you — join us, share your ideas, spread the word, and help us grow this movement. Let’s make barbering more than a service… let’s make it a source of hope. #ShepherdsChair #BarberingForChange #MentalHealthAwareness #AddictionSupport #CommunityCare
