A note from Stacy

Disclaimer

These resources were made with a lot of love β€” and some important boundaries. Here's what this space can offer, and what it can't.

Last updated: May 2026

If you are in crisis right now

Please call or text 988 (US/Canada), text HOME to 741741, or call your local emergency number. You don't have to read the rest of this page first.

Educational, not clinical

Everything inside Creative Resilience Counseling β€” the library, Piper, the printables, worksheets, articles, videos, apps, and the kind notes scattered throughout β€” is educational and informational.

These resources are designed to support reflection, creativity, emotional learning, and curiosity. They are not therapy, not a clinical assessment, and not a treatment plan.

Not a substitute for therapy or diagnosis

Reading, watching, downloading, or chatting with Piper does not create a therapist–client relationship with Stacy or with anyone at CRC. We are not your therapist through this website.

Our materials cannot diagnose mental health conditions, replace personalized care, or tell you what is happening for you specifically. A licensed professional who knows you can.

If you're working with a therapist, counselor, or doctor, please bring our resources to them β€” not instead of them.

If you're in crisis

This site is not designed for emergencies and cannot respond in real time to a crisis. If you or someone you love is in danger, please reach out to people who can help right now:

  • 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline β€” call or text 988 (US & Canada).
  • Crisis Text Line β€” text HOME to 741741 (US, UK, Canada, Ireland).
  • Emergency services β€” call 911 (US) or your local emergency number.
  • International: findahelpline.com can point you to a hotline in your country.

You deserve real, present support. Please use these lines without hesitation β€” that's exactly what they're there for.

Finding a real-life professional

If you'd like ongoing support, a licensed therapist, counselor, school psychologist, or primary care provider is the right next step. They can offer the kind of personalized, relational care a website never can.

Helpful starting points:

About kids, students & clients

Many CRC resources are made for parents, teachers, and therapists to use with the young people in their lives. They're meant to support β€” never replace β€” the relationships that hold a child up.

If a child or student is struggling, please loop in their family, their school's support team, and a qualified professional.

No promised outcomes

Growth, healing, and learning don't follow a tidy schedule. While we've poured care into these tools and seen them help many people, we can't promise specific results. What you take from a resource will depend on your context, your story, and the support around you β€” and that's okay.

About Piper, our AI guide

Piper is an AI resource librarian. She helps you find and navigate the library. She is not a therapist, a diagnostic tool, or a crisis service β€” and she shouldn't be treated as one.

AI can be wrong. If something Piper suggests doesn't fit you, trust yourself first.

For therapists & educators using these tools

If you're a clinician, counselor, or educator integrating CRC materials into your practice, please use your professional judgment. You know your clients and students best. Adapt, modify, and discard as needed β€” and continue to follow your own ethical guidelines, scope of practice, and licensing board's standards.
