Identity Groups

Identity groups can be similar to psychotherapy and support groups in terms of group membership and participation but differ in terms of focus. Identity groups are focused on shared social identities that group members possess, such as race, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, and others, both as unique individuals and as members of a collective identity population. The identity statuses that members bring to the group often share experiences of being marginalized in a world that is made for more dominant identities. These groups require a group screening and consistent attendance is encouraged.
