We are all in this together!
All of us at Ellison Center would like to provide you with some assurances that you will still be able to access therapy services during this challenging time. We are providing sessions via telehealth (video) for new and existing clients.
Ellison Center will continue to follow the CDC recommended measures to protect you and your family. We know these are hard times for us all! One of the ways we could help was to help compile some resources and tools. While we know there are many being shared online it can be hard to know what you need. We have tried to organize these based on who they might be most helpful for to try and make it a little easier.
We are looking forward to when we can end our time of physical distancing and be in the same space with each other again. Until then, remember that we need social connections and relationships. So, physically distance and socially connect!
