Black Women Therapists: Challenging the ‘Strong Black Woman’ Archetype

Saturday 4th February

Who’s in the room? Black Women Therapists: Challenging the ‘Strong Black Woman’ Archetype Workshop with Mary Pascall

 

The aim of the workshop is to offer a supportive and reflexive space in which to explore the influence of the ‘strong Black woman’ archetype on the psyche and clinical practice of Black/BIPOC women therapists. We will consider how the ‘strong Black woman’ archetype impacts identity, choice of training or modality and, ultimately, the therapeutic relationship.

This is a rare opportunity for qualified practitioners and counsellors in training to come together to discuss the influence of the ‘Strong Black woman’ archetype on clinical practice.
