What is intersectionality?

Intersectionality is the acknowledgement that everyone has their own unique experiences of discrimination and oppression and we must consider everything and anything that can marginalise people – gender, race, class, sexual orientation, physical ability... (basic Google summary).

Thank you to the amazing Zayna Ratty who gives us the importance of intersectionality within therapy. Lived experiences of the outside have a significant impact on our mental health. It is important for health professionals to be mindful of this when talking to patients. To also create a safe space where those experiences can be shared as Zayna says "without fear...".

It is important for us to be aware as well!
