Description
Identifying as a Person of Color (POC) is about more than just skin color or physical appearance. This identity is often influenced by cultural and generational history, traditions, surroundings, social circles, and experiences. POC individuals who take ownership of their identities have a diverse and rich cultural distinctiveness to be proud of and celebrated. You will come to the group with your own experiences, feelings, and expressions attached to them. You’ll also come with unique challenges that most people who don’t identify as POC may never experience. With an extensive history of discrimination, ostracism, and racism, POC people can suffer from violence, trauma, and institutional oppression in everyday life. This group aims to provide a safe and secure atmosphere for you to share similar problems or concerns as it pertains to being POC in the United States. You’ll discuss what it’s like to be POC with others who are POC. We’ll share feelings about race relations and racial inequity, microaggressions, and trauma, in a sensitive and safe way — all in the context of recovery. You can come together and learn from other group members while also engaging in your unique process of self-exploration to find individual meaning and build your own coherent life narrative.
