Post Election BIPOC Support Group
Whether you're feeling numb, fearful, disappointed, angry, or like your heart is on the ground; trying to hold on to hope; or evaluating your relationships, you're not alone and don’t have to hold this alone. Come together to feel & process post-election emotions with the support of an Indigenous therapist & each other. Together, we will share and embody intergenerational and collective trauma & grief, practice feeling despair without despairing, connect to ancestral strengths & healing practices for holding our hearts, and move towards re-mobilizing. We will meet for three sessions, with the option to continue if needed/desired.
