GROUP CONSULTATION
I have transformed group consultation into one program. This is now an 8-week program for mental health practitioners who want to incorporate more anti-oppressive, social justice oriented, and liberation focused values in their practices. The program will consist of one BIPoC cohort and one white-identified cohort.
