** These resources are offered as a first step toward connection, exploration, and support. While I have found or heard they are meaningful or useful in some way, their inclusion does not imply my endorsement of every idea, perspective, recommendation, or practice they contain. I encourage you to engage with these resources thoughtfully, considering what resonates with your own values, experiences, and needs. If you have a resource to share, please let me know! I love connecting people to other people, ideas, and organizations that engender more community. (Statement inspired by Bridget Kiley, LMHC)**
