Take part in this study about seeking therapy for trauma related to racial identity

We are exploring the experiences of seeking psychological assessment and treatment for trauma related to racial identities.

About this study


Although there is research on the impact of racism on individuals, it does not look at people's experiences of undergoing psychological support.

This study will explore experiences of seeking therapies for trauma related to racial identity. Using these experiences, we hope to propose ways to improve care for marginalised groups.
