We will stand in solidarity with the BIPOC community against racism and hate in all forms.
We embrace the principles of intersectionality, diversity, and inclusion.
We acknowledge that racism, racial bias, and systems of oppression exist in many forms; overt, unconscious, and unintentional, systemically and within the individual. The effects can be felt physically, emotionally, and mentally among all of us, but more so among our Black community and other POC’s. As an anti-racist group, we vow to look within ourselves in order to challenge issues of racial trauma and systemic inequities. We are committed to working to dismantle racism and systems of oppression within all aspects of our therapy practice, community, and society.
In the smallest of steps taken toward counteracting indigenous invisibility, we acknowledge that our office sits on land stolen from the people of the Council of the Three Fires: Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi, as well as the Miami, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac, and Fox. This land does not belong to us.
