We are thrilled to invite past, present, and interested program participants to the transformative Dishes of Diversity: Finding Liberation Through Community, hosted by the Therapists of Color Mentorship Program. This enriching potluck gathering celebrates the power and strength found in community, providing a unique opportunity for therapists of color to feast, connect, share, and grow together. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN LA-CAMFT MEMBER TO ATTEND!

"Finding Liberation Through Community" is more than just a theme; it's a movement towards empowerment, understanding, and collective growth. Our theme emphasizes the importance of community in fostering resilience, healing, and liberation for therapists of color and their clients. Through dynamic discussions and interactive social activities, attendees will explore how building strong community bonds can lead to personal and professional liberation.

Dishes of Diversity: Finding Liberation Through Community Potluck will feature:

• Interactive Social Activities designed to deepen our understanding of community dynamics that foster collective healing and growth.
• Networking Opportunities to connect with fellow therapists, sponsors, mentors, and mentees to build lasting relationships and expand our professional network within a supportive and inclusive environment.
• Free Heritage Headshots aimed to create images that are not only professional but authentically reflect our cultural identity. Bring a cultural artifact, traditional garment, ancestral piece of jewelry, or a symbolic item as a prop that will be beautifully integrated into your headshot to uniquely highlight your heritage.
• Dishes of Diversity Culinary Potluck, our highly anticipated grand feast that celebrates the rich cultural tapestry of our communities of color with dishes that guests will bring to share. Bring your favorite dish from your culture.
• Exclusive First Look at our TOC Mentorship Program Merchandise celebrating our vibrant community promoting unity, empowerment, and pride among our mentors and mentees. Items are available for pre-order until Oct. 31, 2025 -5pm (for past and present TOC mentors and mentees only).
