INSPIRD Nutrition & Mental Health Counseling stands firmly in support of all immigrants in our Pittsburgh community and across the United States, and we strongly condemn discrimination, xenophobia, and fascist policies that target, harm, detain, and deport individuals based on their immigration status and ethnicity.
The rights, dignity, well-being, and safety of immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers should be unequivocally protected – full stop.
No human being is illegal. “Legality” is not a moral standard because the laws of this country have repeatedly failed to protect and purposefully set out to harm the most marginalized, oppressed groups throughout history.
Our practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves safety and respect.
We will continue to advocate for and stand with our clients and our community, ensuring they receive and are connected with the support, healing, and protection they deserve.
INSPIRD reaffirms our commitment to using the utmost discretion with our clients’ sensitive and private information to keep medical documentation and records as safe as possible.
Silence on this issue is taking a stance, and we owe it to our clients, our community, and our fellow humans to be firm in our values as practice.
We urge our colleagues in healthcare to also use their voices and do the same.
