In-Person BIPOC Mental Health Support Group @ Junior High [Glendale]

PLEASE NOTE YOU WILL NEED TO RSVP THROUGH JUNIOR HIGH AT THIS LINK https://juniorhighlosangeles.com. If you register or donate here you will receive an email with the direct link to rsvp.

With a commitment to ensuring each participant has the opportunity to speak and be heard, our groups limit attendance to no more than 15 individuals. This deliberate size allows for a more personal and focused experience. The session structure is thoughtfully organized to maximize engagement and ensure a nurturing environment.

We kick off each support group with established guidelines to maintain a safe and respectful space. The session begins with a check-in, providing everyone with a chance to share their current thoughts and feelings. Our discussion is centered around a specific topic, facilitated by prompts or questions to guide the conversation, encouraging a deeper exploration of shared experiences.

Towards the end of the session, we transition into a positive close that includes an affirmation, reinforcing the strength found in shared stories and struggles. We also incorporate a poetry reading, embracing the therapeutic power of artistic expression. Finally, we conclude with a commitment to action, empowering participants to take tangible steps toward personal growth and community support.

Join us at Insula Collective's Support Groups—a sanctuary where dialogue, empathy, and communal strength converge to uplift and unite the BIPOC community.
