Consultation Group Story:
This was Kasamahan's first event and was started by nonprofit president, Cristina in 2021 with Illinois based therapists. Since Kasamahan's nonprofit status was established in 2023, vice president, Edward took on the role of facilitator. In 2024, secretary, Eliza referred by Edward to Kasamahan expanded our online presence and now there are licensed Filipino/a/x mental health professionals participating from different locations such as California, Texas, New York, Ontario, Canada and more. As our consultation group continues to grow, Edward creates and maintains structure to support safety that invites all licensed Filipino/a/x mental health professionals to consult and collaborate for the mental health care of their clients and patients. This event may be attended by non-licensed board directors to support them in upholding Kasamahan's mission and mental health professionals undergoing supervision by a licensed mental health professional supervisor.
