Are you a clinician supporting neurodivergent clients and/or clients with mental health needs? We want to hear your thoughts! Link below.

It was a pleasure to present at the final Grand Rounds before the summer today with Drs. Desarkar and Fernandes!

Happy pride!
May we still find joy, pride and love in difficult times,
May we still find rest to empower much needed advocacy and action,
May we still build spaces and communities safe for us to thrive.
