The Resilient Resistance Network has worked hard to try and ensure that each person offering services has a basic understanding of the kind of challenges a person coming off or existing in resistance and anti-oppression spaces will have endured.

We hope that you can find someone here that you can connect with and get the help you need as well as some tools to maintain your sense of well being and resiliency while fighting against oppression, state violence, and extraction.

How it works

Before you have your first session, you will fill out an application to make sure the people that this service is built for are the ones who are using it. No personal information will be asked of you except an email for contacting purposes. It is imperative that you feel safe and protected while using this service.

The application is going to ask you which practitioner you would like to initiate a conversation with. (you can choose two to start with)

This network is funded entirely by grants and we need to be conscious of the consumption of these funds over time.****but please do not let this turn into a scarcity mindset, there is enough and you deserve help****

To ensure that we are able to continue helping as many people as possible while also taking care to make sure that each person receives the attention and healing they need to keep healthy and stay engaged in their work for the creation of a better, safer world- we have developed a layered system. We are recognizing that there are folks who are organizers of movement spaces and/or are racialized (BIPOC) that will require either more frequent care, or care longer term. There are also those that are deeply involved in these spaces, have stood up and continue to stand up for against systems of oppression that also need quality support and guidance. On the application there will a place to specify what layer you see yourself. The care will be catered to the layer you choose with the ability of the practitioner to adjust or change the level of care depending on the individual need. For example you could, at first, get a session every week for a month, then go to every two weeks for another few months, then once you feel, and your practitioner agrees, the sessions could reduce to once a month check ins then come to a end in a good way.

Below is a list of wellness practitioners who have joined this network. You will be able to have a 15-20 minute introductory conversation with any of these folks to ensure you have connected with the right person. In the application there is a spot to enter the name(s) of a practitioner.

Once you have decided on someone, sent in the application, the contact for your choice(s) will be sent to you. From there the appointment times and communications will be up to you and the practitioner of your choice.
