Become A Wellness Advocate

We believe that to change how we in the black community see and feel about mental health, we have to engage with it.

Privacy is significant to us, so Black Therapists Ireland has come up with this initiative to support our community with engaging in the conversation about mental health.

Each Wellness Advocate will create the opportunity for mental health conversations to take place within their existing connections, contacts, and personal community. You bring people together, we come with our expertise.
We hope to see:

• Family units
  
• Parents
  
• Group of Friends
• Group of Colleagues
• Members of social or religious organisations
• Any gathering

The aim is to foster community by encouraging us to choose who we want around us as we explore this topic of stigma and shame. Our therapists will facilitate workshops to provide information, create a space for questions, and encourage help seeking behaviours.

All workshops are virtual.
