Meet Our Founder
Lauren Gargano, LCSW
A licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), a psychoanalytic psychotherapist and supervisor in private practice, Lauren discovered how the knowledge she acquired from
her education and professional experience provided critical insight into navigating life. She created Being Human 101 to share this information with others. Her classes provide long overdue accessible information on the mental and emotional realms, with concepts that can be easily integrated into all aspects of life for more clarity, happiness and success. ​
The Importance of Mental Health Education
Most of us walk around in the dark, and don't even know it. Mental health education gives us the means to understand the depth and entirety of our experiences, turning the light on. Illuminating all aspects of ourselves and our experiences, we have access to understanding who we are, what we want and how to navigate the obstacles to getting it.

​
A New Approach
​
We teach the blueprint for being human, a guide to how the psychological and emotional realms of all humans function, areas that are often overlooked. With this information in hand, you can revisit and adjust internal systems and walk out of the dark and into success, ease and happiness.
​
For Our Systems, Too.
​Because our systems are made up of people, mental health education gives us the tools to understand, navigate and create better systems, too. By learning how to apply the blueprint for being human to understand and adjust external structures, we create better support, furthering the universal quest for ease, success and happiness in life.
Our Classes
​
A five class series provides the basics of human development, and how our development impacts our relationships to ourselves, others and the world. Each class teaches one of these and how to easily integrate concepts into any aspect of life.

I have found the classes very eye opening, compassionate and inspirational. They provide a point of reference that puts in a positive context many questions that we often don't have an answer to or are ashamed of asking.

It was enlightening and was a reminder that I am not alone with the way I think. It's been a while since I was in a group discussion and it was great to be a part of it. I came away with new insights for myself and for my family.
