Does racism continue to play a role in our mental health system today and what is the impact of racism on the individual? Clinical
Psychologist Gail Coleman will explore these questions in a presentation looking at the historical roots and reality of racism in psychology and in British society today.
Dr Coleman will consider the way BME people have been pathologised by psychiatric/psychological professions. She will also reflect upon the impact on children, given that nearly 88,000 racist incidents were recorded in Britain's schools between 2007 and 2011. In conclusion, Dr Coleman will discuss what can we do to promote change in the NHS, in our education systems,in our families and in our communities today.
