OUR LOVE LETTER TO BIPOC & 2SLGTBQIA+ COMMUNITIES
Credits to: https://www.celebratetherapy.org/ and Michelle Sanchez, MSW, LCSW of https://michellesanchezlcsw.clientsecure.me/
Dear BIPOC & LGTBQIA2S+ Communities,
Welcome to ERC! We are so glad that your search landed you here. ERC is on a mission to:
1. Offer acknowledgement, advocacy, and continued reparations to BIPOC & LGTBQIA2S+ individuals.
2. Provide clinical services to improve skills, encourage healthy processing, build on strengths, and facilitate growth. ERC is committed to affirming, connecting, and empowering care to foster positive relationships with self, family, and community.
We are here to witness your experiences from a place of non-judgement, to acknowledge systemic racism and generational trauma, and to leave you feeling slightly better after each contact with us. You are important to us. Who you love is important to us. Because Lizzo has a way with words that we don’t, we will quote her here, “In case nobody told you today: you’re special. In case nobody made you believe; you’re special. Well, [we] will always love you the same; you’re special. [We’re] so glad that you’re still with us.”
We promise to seek social justice and decolonize our practice in honor of you. We love you and we believe that the world is a more wonderful place because you’re in it! You matter and you are enough exactly as you are - in this moment.
Love, Empowering Relief Counseling “ERC’s” Therapists & Staff
LAND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The therapists and staff at Empowering Relief Counseling, “ERC,” acknowledge the land we practice on at 5814 South 900 East in Murray, Utah, is named for the ancestral home of the Newe Sogobia (Eastern Shoshone), Goshute, and Núu-agha-tʉvʉ-pʉ̱ (Ute) Tribes.
We recognize the intersectional identities of those who are Indigenous or Indigenous and Queer, along with the disparities they face from systemic oppression. We recognize the toll this takes on one’s mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. We honor the individual and layered identities of our clients. Period.
To do this in a continued way, ERC therapists and staff “do the work” needed to examine privilege, hold self-awareness, and work through discomfort, so that we can better serve the American Indian and Alaska Native people that we serve.
