Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

Accessibility is part of what it means to be an affirming practice. We build and maintain this website with the goal of meeting the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

What we do

• Text and background colors are checked for sufficient contrast
• All functionality is reachable by keyboard, with visible focus indicators
• Images carry descriptive alternative text
• Headings follow a logical structure for screen reader navigation
• Animation is reduced automatically when your device requests reduced motion
• Layouts adapt to zoom and to small screens without loss of content

Ongoing work

Accessibility is not a one-time task. We review the site as we add pages and content, and we treat accessibility issues as bugs to be fixed rather than requests to be queued.

If you run into a barrier on this site, we want to know so we can fix it. Email hello@risingtidecounseling.org or call (910) 356-6550 and describe what happened and what you were trying to do. We'll respond and, where needed, provide the information you were looking for in another format.
