Black Youths United against GPV & IPV (Gender Based Violence & Intimate Partner Violence)
What's the Deal with GBV?
GBV and IPV are major problems in our communities, affecting too many of us, especially girls and women. Future Black Female is here to change that. At Future Black Female, we're all about problem solving and creating better outcomes for the future. So, we've come up with a program that tackles this issue head-on. ​
Why is This Important?
Did you know that some statistics show that Black girls are more likely to face certain kinds of gender-based violence by the age of 15? The violence we experience in our childhood and adolescence can have long lasting impacts into adulthood. So, we want to address issues early in life so that in the future we are healthier and happier in our relationships and life generally. ​
Des études indiquent que les effets psychologiques du racisme comprennent le trouble de stress post-traumatique et d'autres formes de troubles liés au stress. En raison des menaces fondées sur la race, les familles noires hésitent à s'engager avec des services et à profiter des ressources communautaires, principalement parce que beaucoup font partie d'un système qui a toujours été oppressif à leur égard.
Nous offrons des services de santé mentale Pro-Black (1-1 et thérapie de groupe) qui :
Valider les connaissances et les expériences des Noirs.
Privilégier les Noirs dans les espaces sociaux
Utilisez une lentille intersectionnelle qui considère les différentes façons dont les Noirs ont été blessés et les nombreuses façons dont ils ont surmonté les barrières sociales.
S'engager de manière culturellement pertinente et réactive
Offrir une compréhension de l'expérience des Noirs comme pertinente pour la prévention et le traitement de la santé mentale ; et à la promulgation de la santé mentale positive en tant que justice sociale.
S'attaquer activement au racisme sous toutes ses formes contre les Noirs et accroître leur capacité à atténuer avec succès son impact.
