Quote:
Mixed race children and adults need to work through internal conflicts and guilt about having to develop an identity that might not incorporate all aspects of their heritage and to resist internalising society’s negative attitudes, mixed racialism and minority status. Ultimately, successful identity formation, or a satisfying feeling of wholeness, requires that mixed race people appreciate and integrate all components of their heritage into their lives (Poston, 1990). Furthermore, while some families help their children develop a biracial identity based on the components of their particular background, it is important for children to take equal pride in all their heritages and to maintain equal connections with all members of their family. Poston WSC (1990).‘The biracial identity development model: a needed addition’. Journal of Counseling and Development.
Who should attend the training?
Psychotherapists, Counsellors, Psychologists, holistic therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists and individuals involved in the mental health field, caring professions and those concerned about black/African/Caribbean/Asian and people of mixed heritage mental health.

Quote: Psychotherapists who are analytically trained learn to work with and understand the patient’s inner world only, and therefore for some there is resistance in dealing with psychological problems that originate in the real (outer) world. However most black people would admit that the most traumatic feature in their personal lives is to be black in a white society. Kareem, J. & Littlewood, R. (1994, p.12)
Student: “How can I hold on to my sense of being black in a white counselling world?”(Mckenzie-Mavinga 2009.P28)
