Resources
You are not alone.
As a wellness educator and speaker, I am often asked for resources, suggestions, and tips for finding support. Below are a few links that you may find helpful. This list is by no means exhaustive, and I am always adding to my database—so, please feel free to contact me for any suggestions that are accessible, inclusive, respectful, and can apply to diverse communities.
Thank you! I hope these serve you.
