BAATN Gathering
Men’s Gathering
This group is for male therapists of Black, African, Asian and Caribbean heritages.
Bi-monthly ⋅ Online
Outline
This group is for male therapists of Black, African, Asian and Caribbean heritages. This is a space to connect through shared experience, learn from one another and inspire each other. Together we will create a space where we can articulate our voice around our inner journey and from this place gain support and find ways to express our voices more fully out in the world.
These gatherings are also open to other people of colour who are affected by prejudice due to the colour of their skin and global white power.
Time – 2:00pm – 4.30pm
Facilitators
Rotimi Akinsete, Eugene Ellis, Dennis L Carney and Joe Deans

What delegates have said:
“The body of mental health practitioners committed to the holistic care of those they serve must extend their emblematic arms beyond the confines of the professions usual conventions to the struggle for social justice” – Joden Joseph.
“It is important and empowering for Black therapists to reflect on experiences of oppression and racism, support one another and consider liberating ways of practising”
“I feel the Men’s Gathering is a powerful space to articulate a cohesive agenda for change and growth among black people. I feel that developing a black only counselling and psychotherapy training institute is one such idea.” – Justin Alexander
