BIPOC Case Consultation Group

This process-oriented group, facilitated by Onyx Fujii, LCSW (Co-Director of Kintsugi Therapist Collective), is open to BIPOC therapists, somatic practitioners, and other trauma-informed providers. The group will meet monthly to explore the cases, dilemmas, and growth edges of its participants; with a focus on sustainability, embodiment, and liberation. This offering is intended to create a safer and softer space for BIPOC care workers to connect, build community, offer and receive support; giving voice to our valuable perspectives and experiences, as well as the wisdom of our ancestors. This group will also acknowledge and work to undo, through expansive thinking and action, the harm caused by white supremacy in mental health and wellness fields, in our own lives and in the lives of our clients.

Finances.

The following payment structure is inspired by and borrowed from the model of Bayo Akomolafe’s class We Will Dance With Mountains: Into the Cracks and Skin and Spine with Joanna Hedva at Corporeal Writing.

This year-long program offers a sliding scale based on your relative financial standing. In an effort to reflect disparity in economic condition and access to wealth, the following payment system is designed for those with more wealth to help cover the costs of those with less access to wealth and resources. We trust your discernment of your current financial situation and how you fit into the global economic context.

As you decide what amount to pay, please consider your present-day financial situation governed by income, but also the following factors: historical discrimination faced by your peoples; your access to income and financial wealth, both current and anticipated (retirement, savings, investments, expectation of an inheritance; how easily could you earn more income compared to other people in your community, country, and world); people counting on your financial livelihood including dependents and community members; the socio-economic conditions of your locale (relative to other places in your country and in the world); your relationship to food & resource scarcity.

Please note:

Therapists do not need to be fully licensed to participate, however, the KTC BIPOC Case Consultation Group is a consulting relationship and not clinical supervision. Services do not count towards licensure and unlicensed therapists will need to have a clinical supervisor in the state in which they are practicing.

You can contact Onyx with questions about the group via email. Applications will be read on a rolling basis with a focus on maintaining an intimate, generative environment.
