We work with certified Black therapists to help individuals begin their healing process for racial trauma. We have a specific focus on the lives of Black people in the UK.

The group workshops have been co-developed by BLAM UK and our team of vetted Black therapists to provide a safe place that allows for growth, understanding and learning. ( sign up section is at above )
The group sessions take place over 4 weeks and will cover:

• The effects of Black trauma
• Understanding and dealing with racial microaggressions
• The duality of being both Black and British
• How to use creativity as a therapeutic means of liberating one’s self from the effects of racial trauma

Participants will work on building resilience and discuss coping mechanisms.
We believe that in order for therapy to be effective, it must address the needs of the cultural and racial group that it is serving.

“Psychology has traditionally been Eurocentric”. We want to make therapy more accessible and relevant to the Black community by providing a service that is specific to the Black British experience.

This is best achieved by using Black therapists as they will have a similar cultural background to their clients and will, therefore, have the shared experience of living as a Black person in the UK.

In order to sign up you must be a Black person living the UK and over the age of 18.
