Group Type: Psychoanalytic Group on Disability Justice
This group is run by and for disabled people, and follows a peer group format.
It’s not focused on learning a specific skill or counselling approach—instead, it offers a space to connect with other disabled folks, share your experiences, and explore themes rooted in disability justice.
Because the group is facilitated by disabled counsellors that are group facilitators, each session includes intentional space to process whatever may come up in conversation and to build connection through shared experience.
Length of Group: 12-week program, and meetings are weekly.
Ideally participants show up to all sessions, but we understand that life happens, and that is ok. (Just send an email to Irene when things come up)
Facilitators:
Irene will lead and facilitate the group.
Dizzy will offer additional support and take notes.
