Dr J.J. Kelly teaches 8-week Dialectical Behavioral Therapy courses and gives talks and lectures on DBT and why it’s useful. DBT was originally designed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder, but has been adapted to be useful to anyone and everyone. DBT is less pathologizing than traditional psychotherapy, because the people who are receiving help are considered students, as opposed to sick patients. DBT encourages participants to take their treatment into their own hands, with the support of a professional coach and of a group. Unorthodocs Inc. is a punk alternative to traditional psychotherapy and mental health practices that favors group process, mentorship, peer-coaching, community outreach, laughter & love.

    MISSSEY works to prevent girls and gender-expansive youth from ever entering circumstances of sexual exploitation and violence. We also support young people who are experiencing exploitation to exit. Once they’ve exited, we partner with youth so that they may avoid re-entering sexually exploitative circumstances and live free of harmful transactional relationships.
