Community Workshops & Groups Spaces
“Healing happens in connection.”
What it is & Who it's for
Customized training programs and psychoeducational workshops are designed to equip organizational teams and communities with cutting-edge psychological theories and practical skills.
Drawing on my extensive experience facilitating over 20 psychotherapy groups, I offer structured, safe group environments tailored to specific needs. Here, you will discover that you do not have to carry your burdens alone.
Advocacy and psychoeducation are core to my mission.
As the host of a mental health podcast and an active community speaker, I have delivered dozens of outreach presentations. I have recently consulted for CBCAC on youth mental health programs and led structured workshops on Eating Disorders and Body Image (EDBI) and multicultural awareness at the University of Michigan. Operating as "Social Worker Jessica" on Red Note and “JC & Sexuality” on TikTok, I actively promote mental health literacy and sexuality education to the broader public. Furthermore, I regularly design and deliver continuing education courses on professional ethics, positive psychology, and minority support for fellow clinicians.
I am available for speaking engagements and workshops tailored for universities, corporations, and non-profit organizations.
Problems Addressed: We target specific organizational challenges, including cross-cultural communication friction within diverse teams, building Trauma-Informed Workplaces, integrating DEI frameworks into mental health support, and combating compassion fatigue among professionals.
Process & Frequency: The process begins with a consultation call to assess your specific organizational needs and pain points. I will then design a highly customized single lecture or a series of interactive workshops, ranging from 1.5-hour sessions to full-day formats.
Investment: Project-based fees are determined by attendee size, duration, and organization type. Special rates are available for non-profit organizations. Please reach out via email to inquire about customized collaborations.
CURRENT GROUP
Past Group & Workshop Experience
Trauma Healing & Safety Rebuilding
Co-led "A Journey Towards Healing," a specialized support group for survivors of sexual assault and relationship violence. This group provided a secure holding space to explore coping strategies and safely navigate the path forward from sexual trauma.
Asian American Youth & Multicultural Navigation
Directed the 8-session "Roots & Resilience" workshop, utilizing art-based activities and psychoeducation to help Asian American youth explore identity and family history. I also facilitated "International Student Lunch Conversations" to help students navigate acculturative stress.
Eating Disorders & Body Image (EDBI)
Facilitated multiple English and Mandarin support groups for individuals recovering from disordered eating and body image distress. Additionally, I co-led the research-based EVERYbody Project workshop, directly challenging toxic cultural messages regarding the "ideal body" and promoting radical body acceptance.
Existential & Spiritual Exploration
Independently designed and led the "Connecting with Self in Spirituality" group. This space allowed members to appreciate diverse spiritual beliefs and discuss managing profound life transitions through a meaning-making, spiritual lens. Meanwhile, I led Sunday Schools at church and the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Group.
