Dear BIPOC Students and Counselors,
I am reach out to
all BIPOC mental health professionals and students. I am starting a support
held every other Saturday at 6pm (next session on 10/31). The purpose of
this space is to promote community and healing.
With all the events
happening this year, the global pandemic, systemic racism in the forefront, and
now this upcoming election, I believe that black mental health professionals
are at the crux of trauma and healing. We are expected to do the emotional
labor for others, help our clients heal, and support the students. However I
wonder, where is our support?
I would love for
all BIPOC counselors, counselor educations, and student to attend this safe
space. And please pass along this information to others in our community.
I would like to
emphasize that this is a space for us to heal, not to educate others.

Be Well,
Raina Edwards, LMHC
