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.

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.
