Join us for an interactive workshop about mental health within the Black community.
Through shared stories and group discussions, we’ll explore how to support one another and promote mental wellbeing within the community. The workshop also offers a space to discuss issues, strategies and shared ways of healing.
Black communities are more likely to experience poor mental health due to every day life pressures alongside ongoing experiences of racism and discrimination, limited access to care and stigmas around mental health. Being under constant stress can take its toil in ways that lead to weathering over time. Sometimes, we may not be aware of the impact stress has on us.
Having an understanding and awareness of good mental health with ways to enhance wellbeing allows for better self-care and resilience. This in turn positively impacts those around us.
The workshop offers a space to begin to talk about Black mental health, what is good and poor mental health from a Black perspective and to share cultural ways of healing for the wellbeing of ourselves and our communities.
The group is open to anyone (over the age of 18) affected by Grenfell and the sessions will take place at the: African Caribbean Cultural Centre, 6 Thorpe Close, W10 5TZ
