Race and Diversity

Race, diversity, and multiculturalism are elements of our identity that bring us pride and foster a sense of community with others. When diversity is viewed as a strength and asset to society, we celebrate our similarities and differences, and we honour those qualities in ourselves and others.

Unfortunately, people can also use their beliefs about race, diversity, and multiculturalism to divide communities and place large groups of people at risk of implicit biases, prejudice, discrimination, and racism. Being on the receiving end of discrimination, for example, can not only negatively impact your daily life in terms of your academics, work progression, and interpersonal relationships, but it can also seriously affect your mental health and overall wellbeing.

At The Eaves, we offer therapy to individuals who are grappling with their sense of identity, particularly if their ethnicity, race, culture, and/or religious background differ from that of the dominant majority. Our therapists are trained in anti-discriminatory practices, and we believe in the importance of championing equity, diversity, and inclusion at an interpersonal level, a structural level, and at an institutional level. Our aim is to see each client through the lens of intersectionality, and to help you feel strong, worthy, and capable of living a fulfilling life.

FAQs

The first step when discussing diversity is to recognise that we are all diverse and no two people have the same lived experience. Forms of diversity include race, ethnicity, citizenship, culture, religion, age, ability, neurodiversity and development, economic status, educational level, gender, sexuality, skillset, lived experience, language proficiency, work status, marital status and partnership, parental status and many more!

The Equality Act 2010 is a law that was passed to protect people from being discriminated against at work and in the wider society in the following categories:
Race and ethnicity, pregnancy/maternity, age, (dis)ability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, sex, religion and beliefs, and marriage and civil partnerships.
