About this Event

Black rage is a natural response to hundreds of years of oppression, but it is often something we don't feel safe enough to express for fear of being labelled 'aggressive' and the situation escalating in harmful or dangerous ways. Within professional, family and community settings expressing rage is stigmatised both explicitly and implictly, leading to increased mental distress, exhausion and burnout.

As racially minoritised practitioners, many of us experience rage every day and work with clients, service users and colleagues who also experience rage. Holding the rage of others can take its toll especially if we have difficulty holding and processing our own, which affects the quality of the relationships we can form as well as the impact of our work.

In this professionals training session we will be exploring theories and strategies that make working with rage more sustainable, affirmative and safe for everyone involved. Drawing from the disciplines of Black Psychology, trauma therapy and body-centred approaches we will apply theory to practice and develop an effective toolbox to use across multiple settings.

Please note this training is for racially minoritised professionals only.
