Pioner@s: Latinx, Hispanic and Spanish-speaking Therapists' Support Group

Facilitators: Rosario A. Puga-Dempsey, LMFT

This monthly support group is open to all members who identify as bilingual Spanish speakers, Latinx and/or Hispanic. Its purpose is to create a supportive, connective and fun space for Latinx/Hispanic identifying therapists to share resources, connect through experiences, explore common challenges/interests as well as exchange ideas. The hope is to share knowledge and validate our struggles and lived experiences to cultivate community and collective resiliency.

Non-members can attend 2 meetings before joining the chapter.

This group typically meets the third Tuesday of the month from 12:00pm-1:30pm.
