Creating A Safe Space

By Maria Miller, MA, PLPC

In our continued mission to be an inclusive and welcoming space to all clinicians and clients, The Center for Mindfulness and CBT is proud to announce that we are now an approved Safe Space. This means that we have been recognized as a space where the LGBTQI+ community can express themselves without fear and we do not tolerate violence, bullying, or hate speech towards LGBTQI+ communities.

What is the Safe Space Alliance?

The Safe Space Alliance is a LGBTQI+ led nonprofit organization that aims to help people identify, navigate, and create safe spaces for LGBTQI+ communities worldwide. Being part of the Safe Space Alliance is being part of a global and collaborative safe space community.

What is a safe space?

A safe space is a space where LGBTQI+ communities can freely express themselves without fear. It is a space that does not tolerate violence, bullying, or hate speech towards LGBTQI+ communities.

A safe space does not guarantee 100% safety, rather, it’s a space that has your back if an incident (violence, bullying, or hate speech) were to occur.
