This two-part series is a dedicated space for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) human services workers and social activists actively supporting BIPOC communities experiencing trauma and adversity.
We understand the unique challenges and emotional toll of this work, and we believe in the power of being well to serve well. Join us for two sessions of reflection and connection as we explore the concepts of radical self-care and community connection. We will delve into strategies for nurturing our own well-being while continuing to serve our communities with passion and resilience.
Grace A. Chen, Ph.D., is a licensed psychologist (CA, WA) and consultant based in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. She earned her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from The University of Texas at Austin. At the heart of her work is the value of radical self-care – a mindset of engaging in self-care in order to be more of who you’d like to be in the world and in relation with others. Dr. Chen provides individual psychotherapy to adults in California and Washington. She is a member of the Psychology of Radical Healing Collective (with fellow psychologists of color) and provides consultation and group facilitation regarding radical healing from racial trauma. Dr. Chen also supports psychology graduate students in their professional development through her Psych Grad Corner workshops, advising, and online resources. She values sharing knowledge about wellness and resisting oppression through blogs, podcasts, and community presentations. In her personal life, Dr. Chen has co-facilitated an anti-racist parent group and anti-racism discussions in her local community. She also enjoys hiking, watching kdramas, and spending time with her family.

FPWA has recently been receiving claims from members of the public emailing and calling our offices that individuals posing as FPWA agents have contacted them claiming that in order for the recipient to claim grant monies from FPWA they must first send the agent personal information, a cell phone number, gift card codes or money.
FPWA does not use social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), text messages or direct phone contact to solicit, review, or make awards. FPWA staff will not call or message you requesting money in order to be eligible for an award.
Further, FPWA does not make grants directly to individuals. FPWA works with its member agency partners and other reputable community-based organizations to direct support to families and individuals in our community.
If you or someone you know has been contacted by someone posing to be an “FPWA Agent” or staff person requesting money to release a grant, please do the following:
