Meaningful Conversations on Race in the Psychological Professions

Following the resounding success of our inaugural 40th Anniversary Lecture Series event, we are excited to invite you to the next instalment in our series, "Meaningful Conversations on Race in the Psychological Professions," which will take place on Friday, 19th July. The afternoon will feature thought-provoking talks from voices across our professions who will contribute their unique perspectives on the nexus of race and ethnicity in the psychological professions.

How do clients' racial identities and experiences of racism influence their mental health and therapy outcomes? How does the underrepresentation of racial minorities in the psychotherapy profession impact client outcomes? What role does the therapist's own racial identity play in the therapeutic relationship, and how can this be navigated? Through presentations, panel discussions, and audience Q&A, we will seek a nuanced conversation to arrive at a deeper understanding of these important questions.

About the 40th Anniversary Lecture Series: Meaningful Conversations

Metanoia Institute's “40th Anniversary Lecture Series: Meaningful Conversations” invites thought leaders and change-makers to engage in pivotal dialogues at the intersection of psychotherapy, counselling, and society's pressing issues. Celebrating four decades of progress, this series embodies our founding vision of intertwining social justice with therapeutic practice. It offers a platform for crucial conversations on equality, diversity, and inclusion—areas demanding reflection and action within our profession. Our profession’s focus on the individual often overlooks the broader cultural influences impacting lives, sometimes perpetuating prejudice and injustice. This series aims to address these themes, fostering respectful and nuanced discussions to advance therapeutic practice, training, and social justice. Join us as we explore these critical topics through a series of panel discussions, each featuring diverse perspectives committed to in-depth reflection and respectful dialogue.
