Support Groups: Healing In Community
Often times, healing in group spaces can bring a feeling of connection and empowerment. BAWAR is proud to offer three types of online groups via Zoom.
Skills Groups
Grupos de habilidades
Skills Groups focus on sharing and developing specific coping skills to further personal healing psychoeducation. Participants may have homework or practice certain activities (like mindfulness, self-soothing, or journaling) during a skills group. Group Facilitators bring a skill and teach that skill to the group.
Support Groups
Grupos de apoyo
Support Groups bring together people with something common with a goal of bringing peace of mind and support to others. Participants in a support group will be expected to share some part of their story with the group, while everyone else listens, without judgement. Group Facilitators interact with whomever is sharing and keep the group moving.
Therapy Groups
Grupos de terapia
Therapy groups are facilitated or co-facilitated by trained mental health professionals. These groups may focus on specific mental health symptoms or participants might share a specific diagnosis. Mental health professionals who facilitate therapy groups will encourage participants to process their feelings out loud during the group.
