Description
Participants will share stories and experiences in a safe space, while being witnessed by others who have shared lived experiences. There will be a time and space for processing traumatic experiences, including not feeling safe on a daily basis, processing microaggressions, code-switching, and what it means to be Black and Brown and POC in America.
Group Therapist
Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Привет! أهلا! olá! And welcome. We are a PoC/Multiethnic, Non-Binary and Women run mental health collective headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island! 80% or more of our providers are Black, Latinx, Mixed Race, Middle Eastern or other PoC and/or are part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Those on our team who are White/European American and/or Cis/Hetero are actively Anti-Racist and strong allies in their live and work. ALL of the providers on our team see mental health access as a form of Activism and are Feminist and Social Justice aligned. We understand the importance of showing up in an authentic way for our clients and are deeply relational in our approach. We value connection, and show up for our clients with a deep reverence for the therapeutic space held between us. We are actively working to decolonize mental health care and stigma and are working to actively increase access to quality care for those who have been historically excluded.
