Pioner@s: Latinx, Hispanic and Spanish-speaking Therapists' Support Group

Facilitators: Rosario A. Puga-Dempsey, LMFT

This monthly support group is open to all members who identify as bilingual Spanish speakers, Latinx and/or Hispanic. Its purpose is to create a supportive, connective and fun space for Latinx/Hispanic identifying therapists to share resources, connect through experiences, explore common challenges/interests as well as exchange ideas. The hope is to share knowledge and validate our struggles and lived experiences to cultivate community and collective resiliency.

This group is free of charge for SCV-CAMFT members, and open to non-members, who can attend 2 meetings before joining the chapter.

This group typically meets the third Tuesday of the month from 12:00pm-1:30pm.
