Reduced-Fee Counseling｜Loss & Grief, Post-Intimate Partner Violence
Updated: 4 days ago
This is a CandleX community project.
Since CandleX was founded in 2015, we have seen members of Beijing community within our Mental Health Peer Support group in intimate violent relationships struggle to access help. Our peer‑support groups offered support for this group of people. In 2021, psychotherapist/counsellor Xiaojie Qin co‑launched ProjectA with Megan Purvis from the United States, providing group and individual counselling for people who have left abusive intimate relationships. Built upon community financial support, service fee concessions and reduced‑fee client participation, the project created an affordable service pathway to accompany people impacted by relational harm through inner adjustment.
For our past work on intimate‑partner abuse, please refer to:
自2015 年 CandleX 成立以来，我们在社区支持小组中见证了许多身处虐待型亲密关系中的幸存者难以获得帮助，我们的心理互助小组为这部分人群提供支持。2021 年，心理咨询师秦小杰与来自美国的 Megan Purvis在北京联合发起 Project A，为走出虐待型亲密关系的人群提供团体及个体心理咨询服务。
项目依托社区资金支持、咨询师费用让利、来访低价参与的模式，搭建可负担的服务通道，陪伴经历关系伤害的伙伴开展内在调整关于亲密关系暴力，我们过往开展的相关工作可以参阅：
In terms of grief and loss, unexpected deaths have occurred within Beijing’s international community. Death and separation are universal human experiences. Our corresponding support work was launched in 2024 with a limited number of service spots available each year. Over years of practice, we have accompanied many community members through difficult life phases and hope to keep offering this form of mental‑health support to the community, including family members bereaved by suicide, young adults mourning the passing of grandparents, and teengers coping with the death of parents.
而哀伤与丧失议题方面，北京国际社区偶有意外离世事件，死亡与离别是每个人终将面对的人生课题。对应支持自 2024 年启动，每年开放若干服务名额。经过多年实践，我们陪伴了许多社区成员度过艰难的人生阶段，也希望持续为社区提供这类心理支持，其中包括因亲人离世（自杀）而承受丧亲之痛的家属、哀悼祖父母离世的青年，以及面对父母逝去的青少年。
After years of intermittent practice, we continue to observe steady community demand for these two types of services. As a result, individual counselling for grief and loss, and individual counselling for survivors post‑abusive relationships are now long-term rolling reduced‑fee programmes, delivered by psychotherapist Xiaojie Qin.
经过多年断断续续的实践，我们持续观察到社区对以上两类服务稳定的需求。因此，哀伤丧失个体咨询与虐待关系相关个体咨询，现在转为长期滚动开放的低价项目，由心理咨询师秦小杰提供咨询服务。
