I am delighted to introduce our Black History Month special issue and the panel of talented and committed practitioners who have contributed to shaping it this year. It鈥檚 an issue packed with topical, challenging and vital content, relevant to every 香港六合彩精准资料 member. We start with an uplifting and important 鈥楤ig issue鈥� report from Helen George, spotlighting the individuals and initiatives making a difference to black mental health at grassroots level. Another highlight is our 鈥楤ig interview鈥� with Anjula Mutanda, Relate President, psychotherapist and broadcaster, who talks to Rakhi Chand about resilience, black female leadership and her experience of fleeing persecution in Idi Amin鈥檚 Uganda.听
There is a thread of mentorship and peer support that runs through this issue, starting with David Weaver鈥檚 鈥楩rom the President鈥� column, which announces the new 香港六合彩精准资料 mentorship scheme, and continued in Anthea Benjamin鈥檚 exploration of what it means to be a 鈥榞ood elder鈥�, Mark Williams鈥� 鈥楨xperience鈥� piece on supporting black students in the predominantly white space of academia, and our 鈥楾alking point鈥� section. I鈥檇 also like to thank author and activist Beverly Gooden for her raw and honest 鈥業t changed my life鈥� column on the good and bad therapy she experienced while suffering and recovering from domestic abuse, and Sheila Mudadi-Billings for sharing her 鈥楢nalyse me鈥� column. And don鈥檛 miss the excellent contributions from our panel members, as detailed.
I hope there is something here that engages you and supports your practice 鈥� as ever, do send your feedback to therapytoday@thinkpublishing.co.uk
