Crisis Support
🔴A gentle reminder: This platform is not therapy. It is education, reflection, and community care, but please do not mistake this for clinical care, despite information being proved by licensed professional. This corner of the internet is a mental/emotional gym in exercising discernment skills, developing critical thinking, and expanding Mind body awareness. Below are some curated resources for when you need urgent support or trusted tools outside of our shared space.
(Please let me know if any of the links are no longer working so I can update them.)

🧙🏽♀️ From the Wizard’s Corner
If you’re not in crisis but feel stuck in a loop, consider using the following questions to pause and reflect:
What do I need right now—support, space, movement, or soothing?
Who can I safely reach out to?
What has helped me before in moments like this?
Can I speak gently to myself as I ride this wave?
You are not alone. You are not a burden, and you are not too far gone to come home to yourself.
Come as you are. Where you are. 🫶🏽
