Space to Think about Race 

(Ethnic Minority Support Group)

Often ethnic minorities need space to talk through racial issues they are facing within institutions and organisations. Space to Think about Race is a psychologically safe space to raise issues concerning racism (within the organisation’s context), to be heard and validated and to explore options. If individuals wish problems to be addressed by the organisation, they are passed on to the agreed contact.  

Each session usually lasts 90 minutes, consisting of 60 minutes for the entire group and 30 minutes for 1-1 sessions (if needed). 

Group session  

• Introducing the session’s aims and setting guidelines.  
• Each person speaks about an issue concerning them (it can be specific to an incident or general) whilst others listen (how long each person gets depends on numbers present).  
• After each person has spoken, all reflect on what they heard and ask probing questions to help the individual to find balance/a possible solution. The practitioner offers their thoughts based on their knowledge and experience, if appropriate. Though this is not classed as advice.  

 1-1 Sessions 

These are for individuals who do not wish to speak about their issues in front of others. The same process of reporting above applies.
