A Case Study of Developing a Narrative Group Intervention to Address the Impact of Anti-Asian Racism.

Abstract

The authors present a case study on the development of an anti-Asian racism support group titled, (Re)Claim and Connect. The study covers the formation and conceptualization process and formative feedback garnered from a field test of the intervention. The group grew out of the need for not only interventions to support individuals of Asian ancestral heritage in dealing with the ongoing effects of racism in North America, but also out of a need to provide culturally relevant counseling processes for and by members of the Asian diaspora in North America. Community-engaged scholarship formed the foundation for the intervention formation and subsequent delivery of the online field test version of the program. Findings illustrate preliminary support for this group program and highlight areas for enhancement. Implications for practice and future deliveries are discussed.
