Black Lives Matter
At Alexandria Place Therapy, we believe in standing together with our clients and our larger community, to listen and offer support in times of crisis. Our country is indeed in crisis, and we stand in firm and unwavering support of the belief that Black Lives Matter. We will work to support this movement of positive change and growth. We understand the ramifications of multigenerational trauma and acknowledge the pain and anguish that accompanies such a heavy weight. We commit to continuously educating ourselves about how we can understand and elevate voices that are marginalized and silenced.
We share the following resource as an opportunity for learning.
