Groups
detoxing masculinity: group for men of color
![Photo of Sarwang Parikh, MA, LMFT, Marriage & Family Therapist](https://photos.psychologytoday.com/1879770e-7a18-4c80-87ad-0c807b639d89/2/320x400.jpeg)
This facilitated weekly group will utilize a combination of psychoeducation, group process/discussion and experiential activities (mindfulness, trauma-release, expressive arts,etc) to explore our diverse experience as men of color. Part of our work as self-identified men of color is to unlearn and heal from the violence of systemic oppression, especially the toxic masculinity perpetuated by patriarchy. 'Toxic masculinity' is an inherently narrow and restrictive band of behavior, belief and appearance that often perpetuates harm to all genders. We will explore and re-define our relationship to healthy masculinity. Participants will need to have an initial interview for acceptance into this group.
