We're working with Alicia Bunyan-Sampson to offer various group therapy options!
We're thrilled to team up with Alicia Bunyan-Sampson to offer a series of virtual, group therapy sessions for community members. The pandemic has shifted how we do our work, what connection looks like, and the different challenges associated with our industries, balancing work, life and interpersonal relationships.

Alicia will offer three distinct sessions for community members including an open group for current and former workers, a closed group dedicated to Black current and former workers and a text-based group that is no video/audio.
