Legacy Exploration and Preservation Group Project
The Legacy Exploration and Preservation Group Project was designed to promote psychological health for group members by engaging in self-reflection, exploring family history and traditions, rediscovering one’s roots, deepening one’s life purpose, and by expanding their capacity for caring. Specifically, these psychoeducation/support groups guide adults toward becoming the “keeper of meaning” by exploring, preserving and sharing their family legacy with future generations.
