Training for the Community

My mission is to make psychological awareness and tools accessible to the most vulnerable in society. As a result, I partner with community groups such as Inside Out Wellbeing, Partisan, Lighthouse Fellowship, Beulah Apostolic Churches, and Movement Against Racism to conduct workshops and training that equip people from deprived communities who often face stigma and healthcare discrimination. Through my training processes they can gain psychoeducation and learn ways to improve their mental health.

Training Structure

Training is held in person or via zoom. In these sessions we identify the common mental health challenges affecting the community and use case studies, psychoeducation, videos and feedback to make it interactive, relatable and applicable to the audience. We occasionally conduct surveys before workshops in communities and connect with local mental health services such as IAPT to understand the challenges affecting the area we are targeting.

Why?

Given the overwhelming struggles affecting the mental health of people from deprived communities, more needs to be done to support their mental health. Whilst much work is needed from the government to support the NHS in tackling this problem, I believe all psychological therapists and practitioners should make it their duty to support those from deprived communities. This can include developing support mechanisms and partnering with them to offer psychoeducation, providing basic tips and techniques, or signposting people to services that can support them. In my role as a therapist I have made it my mandate to help solve the problem of mental health.
