BAME group

In addition to counselling with a specialist counsellor, the What? Centre also offers group support. The BAME Group can help you connect with like-minded people and provide you with a supportive network, give you a space to explore the unique challenges faced by BAME people and promote your well-being. The aim of this group will be exploring identity and self-acceptance. Please register to our first group session, which will then continue weekly.
Support for Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities

The What? Centre specialises in providing a range of support for young people who would like to explore their cultural, race or identity as well as just simply provided a safe space where the BAME community can come to. In addition to counselling (with our specialist counsellor) we provide a range of targeted group support for young people experiencing similar experiences.
