About Affirmative Care Consulting
Our Story
Affirmative Care Consulting is a family-owned organization that integrates over forty years of clinical, community-based, education and research experience to support 2SLGBTQIA+ and other marginalized populations to achieve better mental health and well-being. We use evidence-based strategies to provide clinical consultation and supervision (group and individual) to social workers, psychotherapists and health professionals working to enhance their skills to be affirmative, competent, and effective. We also provide consultation to organizations for training, research and practice.
The Process
As clinicians, we have been approached by many social workers and other mental health professionals seeking guidance about the provision of effective and informed affirmative care. With more and more young people and adults exploring their identities and seeking professional support we are committed to ensuring that competent services exist. Dr. Craig has developed multiple interventions including AFFIRM (an 8-week manualized cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) intervention) and trained thousands of clinicians to deliver this evidence-based intervention.
We have supervised hundreds of clinicians and students over the years and have enjoyed the process of co-creating and helping professionals meet their goals.
