  • Scream Club began in Chicago, founded by Manny Hernandez and Elena Soboleva, inspired by primal scream therapy from the 1960s but without proven mental health benefits, according to Ashwini Nadkarni.
  • Scream Club meetings involve group screaming three times with deep breaths and symbolic gestures, helping participants feel grounded and calm.
  • Scream Club has expanded to 17 chapters across the US, including Seattle, offering an emotional release activity formed in less than a year.
