Psychoeducation and Process Group
This group is for queer and trans adults, (18+), who have lived experiences with religious trauma related to purity culture (details on identities, ages, etc). Participants can expect meetings to take place virtually for 90 minutes. Each week we’ll start out with a brief check in, move into some content and/or discussion, and check out with a highlight from the session. Discussions will include your personal narratives and experiences with purity culture in the past, present, and goals for the future.
The purpose of this group is to provide a safe and supportive space where children can explore and express their emotions through drama therapy. Members will learn practical skills to self-regulate and calm, connect with peers who understand their experiences, and practice empathy and social interaction. Through creative activities and guided reflection, children will build confidence, develop emotional awareness, and discover tools to navigate anxiety with greater resilience.
