Health Practitioners Safer Listings
It’s important to keep in mind that no space nor practitioners is 100% safe, same for spaces. Indeed, what one perceoves as safe may not feel the same for another. This is where the concept of ‘safer’ comes into play. Rather than aiming to create a perfectly safe space, the emphasis moves toward making the spaces we already have safer. It’s about recognizing that complete safety for everyone may be impossible, yet meaningful improvements are always within reach. The goal is to foster ongoing progress—gradually transforming environments to become more inclusive, considerate, and respectful.
Nonetheless, you’ll find below some listings of practitioners that might be helpful in your researches.
