Emotional Emancipation Circles Launch - Lewisham Independent Advisory Groups
If you live in Lewisham please join us, the Lewisham Independent Advisory Group for an interactive and engaging Emotional Emancipation Circles Launch where you will meet the facilitators and learn what they entail and the upcoming cohorts for the community in Lewisham.
The Lewisham Independent Advisory Group will also give a talk about their role in the community and how they are helping to improve the mental health experiences of Black people accessing the NHS mental health services.
What are Emotional Emancipation Circles:
The Emotional Emancipation Circles are safe and explorative spaces to develop an understanding and acknowledge our African spiritual and cultural origins. These psycho-educational spaces will support to overcome racial trauma with an intention to liberate and empower on a personal and collective level.
Who are the Lewisham Independent Advisory group
The Lewisham Independent Advisory Group (Lewisham IAG) originally formed to work directly with the South London and Maudsley Trust (SLaM) to improve the access, outcomes and experiences of the Black community who are overrepresented within their Mental Health services. We are evolving, and while we continue to work with the Trust, we understand the value and necessity of working within the black community to address Mental Health on a preventative level.
We acknowledge that we as a people need to heal and feel safe enough to challenge the things that contribute to our struggles.
This event is for Lewisham residents only.
Date: Tuesday 30th September 2025
