About this event:
The purpose of this group is to bring together members of the community to share their experiences of collective trauma and adverse events. Together, we will spend our time holding the impact of the recent Supreme Court ruling on Roe vs. Wade and supporting each other. This space is one free of judgement and focuses on the benefits of community in healing and the ability to be with difficult emotions. Policies and world events impact people’s lives. This group is created to discuss the emotional impact and provide peer support.

- Confidentiality and Privacy – you agree not to talk about other participants’ sharing outside of the group
- Respect – you agree to respect everyone in the group for who they are, for how they identify, and what they have experienced – regardless of their beliefs or opinions

Xihlovo Mabunda, MS, NCC (she, her, hers) is a pre-licensed Professional Counselor whose practice is informed by her identity as a black, cisgender woman. Xihlovo views the therapeutic relationship as a space to begin healing and seeks to foster a collaborative, affirming, and gently challenging environment. Xihlovo’s goal is to encourage self-exploration in one’s identities while recognizing how systems of oppression affect our personhood in conscious and unconscious ways. She believes that healing is a radical act of social justice and maintains a commitment to working with clients who want to push back and explore internal and external trauma experiences.
