Land Acknowledgement: Outdoor Therapeutics acknowledges and honors the land on which we stand, conduct business, and guide our clients as once having been the traditional land of the Susquehannock and Piscataway Tribes. We honor this ancestral heritage and their descendants, past and present. We honor with gratitude the land itself and the many who have stewarded the land over many generations. Further, we acknowledge that the greater region benefited and profited from the enslavement and physical and systematic oppression of native Africans and their descendants. Our mental health services include helping client to experience a healing relationship with the outdoors, both as its own end and in the hopes this relationship might inspire all of us to be better stewards going forward. While this acknowledgment is only a small part of supporting Indigenous and African American communities, we hope that through this we can bring awareness, inspire learning and amplify the voices of BIPOC people.
