At Fortitude Wellness we strive to provide a safe space free of bias, conflict, criticism, or potentially threatening actions, ideas, or conversations. Creating a safe space is crucial when dealing with mental health issues as clients are working through a wide range of sensitive, personal, and/or traumatic topics.
An anti-oppression framework is essential in providing a safe space as it allows therapists to understand how systems of oppression can result in individual, structural, and systemic inequalities. Incorporating anti-oppression, systemic, and trauma-informed approaches combined with our therapist’s non judgement, compassionate nature, we can help create a safe environment for all communities on their therapeutic journey.
