Systemic racism leaves scars that run deep, but together, we can begin to heal. Your support can provide culturally-appropriate mental health therapy for individuals in the Black community who face emotional challenges due to discrimination. Your donation can help someone find peace, strength, and hope.
Black women are disproportionately re-traumatized by interactions with public services, including mental health and policing. Between April and June 2017, 457 incidents of sexual assault were reported in UK mental health settings, with Black women being significantly impacted.
Black men, meanwhile, face barriers to accessing early intervention mental health care and are more likely to encounter services through the criminal justice system or crisis settings.
Despite higher prevalence of mental health challenges, Black adults in the UK have the lowest treatment rates of any ethnic group, with only 6% receiving care, compared to 13% of White British individuals.
Your generosity creates more than just access to therapy—it fosters resilience, empowerment, and healing for those navigating the emotional toll of systemic racism.
BEO is not a therapy service provider, as such, will not be liable for any situation that may arise from the sessions. The donation is aimed to fund therapy sessions for members of Black communities, and applications will be passed to our partner, Black Minds Matter, for them to assign therapists with individuals. The fund is here to support those making challenges against race discrimination. If you are going through a court or Tribunal appearance, you may fit the criteria to be considered for therapy.
