our community

You’re helping others
all day… We’re here to help you grow.

This is a hub for mental health professionals, educators, students, and allies to explore emerging science and connect meaningfully with colleagues on a similar path. The work we do can be isolating and heavy… which is why we get together to learn practical skills and support each other's’ growth.

If you’ve looked for answers to these questions, this membership is right for you:

  • What is the latest with Attachment Theory and IPNB?
  • How do other clinicians support their clients?
  • Where are the BIPOC and LGBTQ perspectives?
  • How do I apply this knowledge in my practice?
