Understanding Generational Trauma: Mental Health Support Group

Have you ever thought of the patterns, beliefs, traditions, behaviour or sayings that we repeat throughout our life, which are deeply rooted through our generational timeline? Well, generational trauma impacts individuals and families through economic, cultural and familial distress. What’s scary is often, the trauma is not seen as a trauma, but a way of life. What are the prolonged impacts of generational trauma? Let’s discover together.

WHAT TO EXPECT

• A supportive, culturally competent space to explore your own personal challenges
• A chance to connect with other locals over experiences in an unfiltered, safe space
• Engage, explore and gain access to culturally competent mental health service providers
• Discover vital self-awareness to protect your mental health and explore ways to overcome

Water and light refreshments will be provided.

WHY IS THIS EVENT FREE?

IN.Society is delighted to have the Racial Identity & Wellbeing Hub Project being funded by the Community Lottery Fund. This event is one of many to be delivered throughout the year, focussed on supporting Black & Asian ethnic people in Birmingham/surrounding areas with experiences of racism through events, knowledge, togetherness, awareness and resources.

• Anyone wanting to learn more and get their questioned answered on this specific topic
