Crisis Support

Crisis
Written By Nicole Macdonald

If you're feeling overwhelmed, in emotional distress, or struggling to see a way forward, please know that you don't have to go through it alone.

Reaching out for support can feel incredibly difficult, but it can also be the first step toward safety and hope. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or requires urgent medical or mental health support, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department.

Your life matters, and there are caring professionals ready to help.

Nicole Macdonald – January Made x Creative Process Collective

Hi there! I’m the founder and head architect behind Creative Process Collective, as well as owner and designer over at January Made Design.  You can guarantee I will greet you with an over the top smile and talk your ears off about all things creative, small business and probably pets (everyone loves pets). Serial over-sharer on social media, you’ll be able to find me most days sitting at my trestle table working away with a green tea and surrounded by too many house plants and most likely a cat stretched across my keyboard.
