We at Purposeful Visions are here to help those whose are experiencing the loss of a loved one. Grief counseling for the BIPOC (Black Indigenous people of Color) community is a sensitive and crucial service that addresses the unique cultural, historical and systemic challenges faced by BIPOC. For this population, grief may not only stem from personal losses, such as the death of a loved one, but also from collective and generational trauma, including racism, discrimination, and historical oppression. We ensure safe spaces for expressions of our clients who may have experienced environments where their grief was minimized or invalidated.
