Join Creative Kuponya Co-Founder, Sara Stamschror-Lott, for a Kuponya Conversation ! Come gain CEUs, network over Happy Hour and join a community of Healers! And all for the cause of bringing free therapy to community members that have been pushed to the margins! After experiencing a serious misdiagnosis and the harms of the traditional mental health system firsthand, Sara Stamschror-Lott, MA, LMFT knew she couldn’t stay silent. Refusing to over-diagnose and pathologize people who simply needed high-quality, trauma-informed care, Sara followed her conscience—and co-founded Creative Kuponya with her partner, Jamil. Since 2017, they’ve worked to reimagine mental health care—offering therapy without the requirement of diagnosis and creating access where there once were walls. After losing their offices during the civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd, they launched the Creative Kuponya Therapy Fund , ensuring therapy remains accessible and free of barriers. (And providing thousands of no cost therapy sessions!) Sara’s work has been recognized by The New York Times, USA Today , BBC Worldwide and more! —and now, she’s inviting you to be part of the movement. CEU s have been approved for the Board of Social Work. 100% of the profits for Kuponya Conversations will go to Creative Kuponya's Therapy Fund. This year we are on the way to funding over 2000 no cost thearpy sessions to our neighbors that have been pushed to the margins, and need your help! www.creativekuponya.com @creativekuponyampls Excited to be in coversation!
