Black Trauma: When it Presents in the Therapy Room from Community Trauma Conference UK on Vimeo.
This extraordinary year 2020 has seen both an acknowledgment and rise in the traumatic experiences that Black people have been experiencing for many years. Covid19, the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests led to old psychological wounds resurfacing and new ones cutting through; taking its toll on the mental health of Black people.
Trauma Conference 2020 pays homage to the black experience and invites all psychotherapists, counsellors, psychologists and other mental health practitioners and researchers a therapeutic space to come together to acknowledge and consider the emotional impact of trauma on black people.
Through the presentations and workshops this event offers the potential for greater insight and understanding in the importance of creating safe felt spaces for black trauma to feel welcomed in the therapy room
"It was an amazing event and so professionally conducted via online. I felt in the room with all of the speakers"

"Thank you so much for what you are doing in bringing BME therapist/Therapeutic beings together. This has made me think about my position as a therapist, how I practice and how I'm reaching (or not) the people in need in our communities"

"Good conference, well organised and professional. Made things clinically relevant and some concrete things to take away as sometimes i find whilst i learn stuff I struggle to know how to apply what I learn in a clinical context - this conference helped with both so thank you"

"I enjoyed the conference as a black therapist and individual. Our communities are in need of these platforms to keep the issue of race and the "other" high on the agenda. The conference assisted my learning and validated my experience. Thank you"
