Addressing critical issues and systemic challenges can be a very difficult process. As you engage in tough conversations and challenge your pre-existing ideologies, you may experience feelings and emotions that can be very uncomfortable. The feelings that arise may be new feelings, past trauma, or even feelings you weren't aware that you had — all of which may be very difficult to both identify and process.

While we have taken steps to create a safe space for all individuals that we engage and connect with, we acknowledge and understand that participants may experience these uncomfortable feelings. We are always committed to protecting your mental health and psychological safety. We also want all participants to know that if they should feel concerned for their well-being at any point during our workshops or engagements, they should feel free to leave to ensure their individual safety and well-being. Should you feel any discomfort or duress following the conclusion of your involvement in our projects, we strongly encourage you to reach out to a mental health professional who will be able to aid you in working through your feelings. If you do not have a trusted mental health professional whom you feel comfortable connecting with, please check out the list of resources that we have compiled below, or reach out to us directly for additional options and support.
