Visionaries: Immigrant & Refugee Adult Peer Support Group.

Led by Maria Sotomayor-Giacomucci

Date: Once a month on the first Monday of every month from September to December 2021.

Time: 6:30 PM- 8 :00 PM (Eastern Standard Time)

Virtual Zoom Meeting

Cost: Pay what you can! (suggested donation, if financially able, of $20 per session)

The purpose of this group is to bring together immigrant and refugee adults who need a place to share their personal experiences without having to explain or feel judged by others. We will spend our time focusing on the here and now, learning from each other, and supporting each other to achieve visions for the future. Topics will include our experiences in a new country and culture, relationships, stress, ambiguous loss, racism, and xenophobia while focusing on empowerment, self-care, transformation, and community support. We will use art and experiential practices to dive into our experiences as individuals and as a group.

This group is open to anyone that identifies as an immigrant (regardless of immigration status), refugee, or new citizen. We welcome undocumented, DACA & TPS, refugees, and those who have gone through adjustment of status. New participants are welcome to join the group at any time.

Disclaimer: This is a peer support group for community members, not a therapy group. If you are looking for therapy services, please let us know and we can offer referrals.

If you are interested in joining this group, please contact Maria Sotomayor-Giacomucci at maria@phoenixtraumacenter.com or call 484-440-9416. Maria will schedule a short call with each participant to assess eligibility

Scott is a prodigy at trauma work and especially psychodrama and experiential therapy. He has put together a wonderful center to participate in important, symptom reducing experiences. I often send my own clients to Scott for important experiential work that impacts the brain so that they can experience success.
