August is Fat Liberation Month!

Every August, Protea Wellness observes this
holiday through our dedication to fight medical fatphobia, by employing therapists who adopt a radical body acceptance ethic, celebrating the validity and beauty of fat bodies, and all bodies. We don't support fat shaming, and we proudly sponsor Fat Con each year.

July 25 marks Emmit Till’s birthday.

From PBS, The American Experience:

“Emmett Till's murder was a spark in the upsurge of activism and resistance that became known as the Civil Rights movement.”

We remember.

Happy National Kitten Day!

Protea Wellness loves kittens. Many Protea Wellness therapists can write Emotional Support Animal letters for housing and air travel, and because many of our providers offer telehealth, clients can often keep their kittens with them while doing therapy sessions from the comfort of home!

Celebrating Disability Pride Month!

This month, and every month, Protea Wellness fights medical ableism!

Not only do we employ disability rights activists as staff, clinical and admin alike, and we offer progressive disability accommodations like telehealth, but we also employ many paid interns who accept some Medicaid plans, to increase access to mental healthcare to people limited resources, which includes many disabled individuals.

Of course, as always, we ALSO send love to everybody experiencing this holiday as offspring, whether it’s a day of joy, a day of mourning, or anything in-between.

We see you and we love you!

"Juneteenth, short for 'June Nineteenth,' marks the day when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, in 1865 to take control of the state and ensure that all enslaved people be freed. The troops’ arrival came a full two and a half years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation."

Protea Wellness stands against the systemic racism that still persecutes Black communities and individuals, but we look back on this historic day with appreciation.
