Think Tenacity Academy CIC is hosting another important Making Time for Black Mental Health event in London.

The free racial trauma seminar will take place on:

Wednesday 23 September 2026
3:00 pm–9:00 pm
Cottons Shoreditch, 321 Old Street, London EC1V 9LE

The event will provide a culturally informed space to explore racial trauma, mental health and wellbeing within Black communities. It will also create opportunities for people with lived experience, carers, professionals and community organisations to connect and learn from one another.

I attended a previous Making Time for Black Mental Health event and saw how valuable these community-led spaces can be. They enable conversations about race and mental health to take place in an environment where people feel understood, represented and supported.

As a lived experience Black mental health carer and advocate, I know that racial trauma can affect not only individuals but also families and unpaid carers. We need more culturally responsive spaces that recognise these experiences and make it easier to discuss mental health without fear, judgement or stigma.

The event is free to attend, but capacity is limited to approximately 45 places, so early booking is strongly recommended.

A related Racial Trauma Group Support event is also advertised for Thursday 1 October in Notting Hill.

Book your free place through Eventbrite
