Trauma Resources
At Cognitive Resilience Counselling Clinic (CRCC), we understand that waiting for services or navigating life between therapy sessions can be challenging. We’ve gathered a list of resources that may support you in managing symptoms, building resilience, and finding community connection.
​
These resources are provided for informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care. Always consult a qualified health care professional with any questions you may have. If you are looking for therapy, you may also find our Accessing Care page helpful.
✨ Note: This list is not exhaustive, but we hope it serves as a starting point for finding helpful support while on your healing journey. ✨
