Building Resilience in Ethnically Diverse Communities

Earlier last year, NCVS engaged with community organisations to understand why some communities (especially those from South Asian backgrounds) were not accessing NHS Talking Therapy services.

Based on the findings of the engagement, we're pleased to say that we've partnered with Al-Hurraya to deliver training for community leaders and organisations supporting diverse communities.
 

This training session is being delivered in-person at Broadway Cinema, Nottingham NG1 3AL on Wednesday 17 April 2024, starting promptly at 1pm and finishing at 4pm. Places are limited and registration is required.

Please note that two training sessions will be delivered on Wednesday 17 April 2024. This afternoon session is a repeat of the morning session which runs from 9.30am to 12.30pm. If you would prefer to attend the morning session, please book here.
 

Who is this training for?

This training is fully funded for Nottingham organisations. Our priority audience is paid members of staff, trustees, and volunteers from Nottingham VCSE sector organisations, particularly those that serve ethnically diverse communities.

We are accepting registrations from other partners within Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Integrated Care System (ICS). However, we may need to restrict places in some circumstances. If this affects your booking, we will let you know as early as possible.

What will I learn from this training?

By attending this training, you can expect to:

• Gain insights into the unique challenges faced by ethnically diverse communities and the critical role of resilience in overcoming adversity
