Resources
“Your emotional wellbeing requires so much more than therapy.”
– Dr. Jennifer Mullan, @DecolonizingTherapy
Depending on where you are in your journey, or what “help” looks like to you, it may feel safer to access self-directed or supplementary healing resources. Below are some support resources that offer additional/alternate ways to navigate your experience, as well as some resources specific to the Hastings County region.
This resource list is incomplete and ever-growing. I welcome any suggestions for additional content at admin@aioarttherapy.com.
