This group is for individuals exploring their identity in recovery.  Members examine how their various identities influence their sense of self.  At the core of this group is the development of self-compassion and self-acceptance.

Various identities are explored.  These include race, ethnicity, color, culture, religion, sex, age, socioeconomic status, neurodiversity, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, relationship status, and physical/mental abilities.  We focus on exploring the contextual, cultural, and environmental factors that influence identity.

Topics include the critical voice, disability justice, shame resilience, explorations of trauma and family of origin issues, character exploration, and personal meaning.
