The Power of Groups: Cultivating Hope, Acknowledging Fears and Taking Action
Group work is increasingly vital. Through group work we engage in building mutual understanding and respect while developing a sense of belonging in a world experiencing waves of negativity and hatred, causing rifts among individuals, groups and communities. Through group work we engage in collective action against injustice, hate, and fears by cultivating hope, understanding, and joy.
