HiC acknowledges that some of the language used below is and can be pathologising of people’s experiences and identities. As this is the language currently used in psychology, the general public accessing services may be using similar language to search for practitioners. HiC also acknowledges the historical, institutional, persistent harms of this language and welcome you to self-identify as much as possible. We welcome compassionate feedback to help us create language that is more inclusive and reflective of our communities. Please email admin@healingincolour.com with your suggestions.
