Director Dan Tsai and GLIDE CEO Dr. Gina Frommer recently cut the ribbon to open The Shop, a barbershop where clients can access essential health care services and social supports. Drawing inspiration from the historic role of barbershops in Black communities as trusted, social, and therapeutic spaces, The Shop was created as a culturally relevant intervention for older Black/African American men — but all ages and ethnicities are welcome!

The Shop aims to reduce overdose deaths, increase linkages to care, and promote whole-person wellness through a trusted, culturally relevant therapeutic environment.
