About the Kasamahan Consultation Group
This was Kasamahan's first event and was started by nonprofit President, Cristina in 2021 with Illinois based licensed therapists. Since Kasamahan's nonprofit status was established in 2023, Vice President, Edward took on the role of facilitator and director of the group. In 2024, Secretary, Eliza based in Texas and referred by Edward to Kasamahan, supported Filipino/a/x mental health professionals licensed in other states and even country to participate.
​
This remains an open consultation group aligned with our nonprofit mission. Edward provides structure for new, returning, and consistent members.
