DISCLAIMERS

The content, services, workshops, events, subscription boxes, and digital materials provided by Crooked Path Studios are intended for personal enrichment, creative exploration, and general wellness. These offerings are designed to support self-expression, community connection, and emotional wellbeing through the arts. However, they are not a substitute for professional medical, psychological, psychiatric, or therapeutic advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

While some programs may incorporate principles inspired by art therapy, Crooked Path Studios does not provide licensed art therapy services, nor do our facilitators act as licensed mental health professionals. Participation in any program does not establish a therapeutic relationship, and no clinical outcomes should be expected or implied. You can learn more about the difference between therapeutic arts and art therapy from our post on the topic.

Our offerings may include discussions or creative prompts that touch on sensitive topics such as trauma, grief, chronic illness, or emotional challenges related to chronic illness. These are intended to foster reflection and creative engagement, not to diagnose or treat any condition. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis or require clinical support, we strongly encourage you to seek help from a qualified healthcare provider or licensed therapist in your area or online.

All participants engage in our programs voluntarily and at their own discretion. We encourage individuals to honor their own boundaries and participate at a level that feels safe and appropriate. Outcomes from creative exercises may vary, and no specific results are guaranteed.

The materials provided or recommended—whether physical (e.g., art supplies) or digital (e.g., downloads, videos, blog posts)—are for informational and inspirational purposes only. Any recommendations, techniques, or product suggestions are offered in good faith but should be evaluated by the user for personal suitability, especially in cases involving allergies, sensitivities, or chronic health conditions. Please note, as an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Crooked Path Studios is not liable for any physical, emotional, psychological, or financial outcomes resulting from participation in our programs, use of our materials, or engagement with our community spaces (including online platforms such as Substack, Zoom events, or social media). By accessing our services, you acknowledge and accept these terms and assume full responsibility for your participation and behavior.

If you have questions about whether our offerings are appropriate for your needs, we encourage you to reach out to us for a conversation or consult with a licensed professional before participating.
