Join our Executive Director Liz Chang in this intimate virtual info session to learn more about our organization, our therapy services, and ways you can partner with us.
Treatment is challenging, support is unclear, stigma is high, and it is hard to see any motivation from them to depart from their reality.
At times you see glimpses of who you once knew them to be, and other times they seem like a stranger with how they act—the scribbling in the notebook, the preoccupied mumbling, the interrogation of technology, among other symptoms that can range from emptiness to aggression.
Over time, the range of realities becomes familiar and it is hard to hold on to hope for wellness or for a meaningful relationship with them. As a family member the experience can be so isolating that you can’t imagine anyone else could ever understand.
But you’re not alone. You’re not the only one with a family member troubled by schizophrenia diagnosed or undiagnosed, medicated or unmedicated, lost from or rejected by your family’s community.
Do you have a loved one living with schizophrenia or symptoms of schizophrenia?
Maybe your loved one has been clinically diagnosed with schizophrenia or you suspect it’s schizophrenia but they don’t have a formal diagnosis. What you know is that they operate in a different reality on occasion, cyclically or all the time.
And, do you identify as a Person of Color/Person of the Global Majority?
This space is for you.
We meet on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month from 12pm-1pm PST.
Space is limited.
Please register for each date you intend to join.

Come and join us for a night of dancing and reflection on the intersection between dance and mental health!
During this workshop we will engage in various dance activities and discussions led by guest speakers and leaders from across the Seattle street dance scene about how dance can be a form of emotional healing, but also resistance and liberation.
All funds raised through this event will go towards Unity Collective's therapy programs.
Design a butterfly for a large art installation and listen in on a conversation about art, mental health, and the butterfly effect.
One person can create a ripple effect of change.
Join local artist Alex Nason and Unity Collective therapists in this art activity and panel discussion on the topic of The Butterfly Effect, art, and mental health.
Alex Nason will be sharing about the theme of her art installation project related to The Butterfly Effect and will give instructions for the art activity.
Unity Collective therapists will dive into a panel discussion on the topic of The Butterfly Effect as it relates to mental health and relationships, and expand on the topic of art in mental health wellness.
Bring Your Own lunch. Snacks will be provided.
This event is open to the general public. Kids are welcome and there will be a paper version of the butterfly designing activity that they can take home.
Participation in this event is free, with a suggested donation of $12 that will go towards supporting Unity Collective and those receiving UC's low cost mental health services.
Join Unity Collective's team online for an insightful workshop exploring the deep impact of spiritual abuse and racial trauma in the United States, specifically in the historical context of slavery and white American Christianity.
This workshop is designed especially for mental health providers looking to expand their knowledge, understanding and skills in these important topics. Those in helping professions adjacent to mental health providers are also welcome to participate.
Connect, learn, and grow with peers in a supportive virtual environment.

This 2-part workshop will help you notice supremacy culture in the room and resist it. Due to the way Christian nationalism works in the US we create space to engage Christian supremacy and its manifestations of racialized heteronormativity that affects all bodies — regardless of religious or non-religious status. You will learn embodied, relational tools to strengthen your practice and reduce harm.
Together we will work with the ways supremacy culture shows up somatically, relationally, and structurally in helping professions. We will examine how dissociation, fragmentation, and inherited oppression narratives shape our work, and develop practices to interrupt these patterns.
This workshop addresses diversity and cultural competence by:
Examining how supremacy culture impacts Black, Indigenous, and People of Color differently than white-bodied practitioners.
Naming cultural, historical, and intergenerational forces that shape power dynamics in clinical and community settings.
Offering embodied, relational, and trauma-informed tools to practitioners working across racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic differences.
Developing the capacity to recognize and intervene in oppression harm while maintaining therapeutic integrity and accountability.
Participants will engage in reflective dialogue, somatic exercises, case-based examples, and guided exploration of their own positionality.
The intent is not perfection but deepening collective responsibility and expanding our capacity to resist supremacy culture inside our practice and in ourselves.
This experience will be virtual only. Subverting Supremacy Culture in our Practice will take place on two consecutive Fridays: January 23rd and January 30th. You have the option to sign up for one or both!
This workshop mets the Washington Department of Health requirement for two hours of health equity continuing education (WAC 246-12-820).

$45 per session / $80 for both without CEUs
Member Registration
