Our Activities
We design, deliver and evaluate mental health and wellbeing peer support groups, workshops and training for Black people and allies in education, the community, and at work.
Black Students Talk
Black students have to survive racism, discrimination, and harassment whilst simultaneously being expected to thrive.
Many Black students are collectively grieving the disappearances and murders of Black people around the world; and then used as unpaid Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Consultants based on their lived daily trauma.
Black Students Talk (BST) is a mental health and wellbeing peer support group for and by Black university students.
Black university students come together to listen, learn, and support each other's mental health and wellbeing.
Set up Black Students Talk at your university!
