We acknowledge that Black Lotus operates on the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, Seneca, and Mississaugas of the Credit for thousands of years. Today, it remains a meeting place for many Indigenous peoples from Turtle Island, and we are grateful for the privilege to work on this land.

Black Lotus Mental Wellness does not provide crisis response services. If you are in crisis, please visit your local hospital, contact a crisis line, or call 911.
