Racial Trauma and Healing Group

Racial Trauma and Healing Group

Wednesdays | 10 – 11:30 a.m. | Zoom

Group Overview:

This processing and skills-based group is designed specifically for the Black and Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) community, including Black people, Indigenous people, and all other communities of color. We start with the understanding that racism is real and has detrimental effects on individuals and communities. Our focus is on addressing the stress and trauma caused by racism and its impact on mental health. Through learning, processing, conversing, and skill-building, we aim to facilitate restoration and healing.

Who Would Benefit:

This group is for adults (18+) from the BIPOC community who want to explore the connections between racial stress/trauma and mental health. It’s important to be open to working as a group and to hold space for strong emotions and diverse lived experiences. To participate in this group, you must be a Centerstone patient.

Goals of the Group:

  1. Create a Safe Space: Process and explore topics related to race, racism, and mental health in a supportive environment.
  2. Identify and Handle Microaggressions: Learn strategies to recognize and address subtle forms of discrimination.
  3. Understand Stereotypes: Explore and challenge stereotypes held about yourself and others.
  4. Empowerment and Pride: Develop a sense of empowerment and pride in your racial identity.
  5. Effective Communication: Gain tools to navigate and communicate with the dominant culture.
  6. Advocacy Skills: Enhance your ability to advocate for equality and equity within and beyond the group.
  7. Join us in this journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment as we work together to confront and overcome the challenges posed by racism.
