Harambee Care Circle: Caregiver Support Group

Inspired by Harambee, meaning “pulling together,” Harambee Care Circle is a supportive space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) caregivers to connect with others who understand the unique emotional, physical, and mental demands of caregiving. This group is designed for BIPOC individuals who are caregivers, whether for aging relatives, ill family members, or loved ones with disabilities. Members will be encouraged to share experiences of caregiver burnout, feelings of guilt around self-care, stress from juggling multiple responsibilities and a desire for community support. Together, the group will explore ways to prevent burnout, manage stress, and practice self-compassion, all while recognizing the cultural and systemic factors that impact caregiving in BIPOC communities.

Harambee Care Circle is facilitated by Dru Minch-Collins, a dedicated therapist with a deep commitment to supporting BIPOC communities. With years of experience working with individuals facing the unique challenges of caregiving, Dru brings a culturally-informed approach that honors the lived experiences of caregivers. He blends compassion, mindfulness and practical strategies to help caregivers navigate burnout, manage stress and cultivate self-compassion. Rooted in the values of unity and collective support, Dru’s work aims to create a space where caregivers can feel seen, heard, and empowered to care for themselves while caring for others.

Harmambee Care Circle: Caregiver Support Group will meet virtually on Friday afternoons starting this winter. The investment is $100/session with sliding scale available and some insurance accepted. Sign up for an intake here: https://bit.ly/CaregiversMCMCollab
