The service is delivered by specialised counsellors who all have an understanding of racial trauma and centre race and racism in their practice. You can access our counselling service online, with up to 12 confidential and free counselling sessions available, depending on your needs.
If one to one counselling doesn’t feel like your thing, the mental health service is busy developing more informal spaces through group therapeutic activities, social prescribing, wellbeing and mental health education and maintenance. We will update you as soon as those start to happen.
