Land Acknowledgement

I recognize that people can be impacted by individual, historical, and systemic trauma. This Land Acknowledgment and the commitment to action are small steps on this journey. This office sits on the ancestral homelands of the people of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. They have lived on and stewarded these lands in which we live and work, and continue to do so even today. I acknowledge that our history is a testament to the unjust treatment of this Indigenous group displaced from the area. The separation of people from land and the disconnection between land and our bodies is a purposeful tool of colonization to further dehumanization. I recognize that this land acknowledgment is one small step toward true allyship. I am committed to the continual learning, honoring, and uplifting of the voices, experiences, and histories of the Indigenous people of this land and beyond. I also commit to being a caretaker of the land I engage with.

Statement of Equity and Inclusion

Rising Resilient is dedicated to providing an inclusive, respectful, and affirming space where all clients feel seen, valued, and understood. I recognize that people can be impacted by individual, historical, and systemic trauma. This statement and the commitment to action are small steps on this journey. I believe in the inherent self-worth of all people and the fundamental role of compassion in all that we do. I believe in an equitable and just world where we honor diversity and inclusion, including LGBTQ+, BiPOC, and Neurodivergent experiences and knowledge. There is no place for racism, sexism, bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, or intolerance of any kind in this space, or anywhere in American society, and to be silent is to be complicit. I am committed to educating myself professionally and personally on antiracism, indigenous history and culture, neurodiversity, and lgbtq+ experiences to better understand how I can best serve and support the diverse community I am part of. This Equity and Inclusion statement acknowledges the journey of learning and action on my part, not the end result. I humbly and respectfully recognize that there are times I will fumble and that the process is not always perfect. As such, I recognize that listening, reflecting, and acknowledging when I stumble are part of this journey.
