Racism, racial trauma and anti-racism podcast series

This series of podcasts exploring racism, racial trauma and anti-racism have been recorded as a collaboration between BACP and Hackney Council.
Over the course of six episodes, professionals from our organisations have open discussions and consider how we can unmask, repair and prevent the harm and trauma that racism perpetuates. The podcast series follows on from the Anti-Racist Praxis Conference hosted by Hackney Council’s Children and Families services in May 2022.
It is not the aim of this series to provide answers to the many problems and challenges that arise from racism, but the conversation in the podcasts offer insights and reflections that can inspire further conversations, exploration and learning that contribute to understanding of the impacts of racism and the value of anti-racist awareness, action and practice.
As you listen to these recordings, please be mindful that the conversations include focus on the hurt and pain caused by racism that you may find difficult and upsetting.
