CBT and Ethnicity: Is the gold standard really good enough?

The recent COVID-19 pandemic and tragic death of George Floyd exemplifies how Black, Asian, and other minority ethnic populations (BAME) have, and continue to suffer under historical and systemic racism in regard to their mental health.

We acknowledge the Gadigal people and the Kaurna people as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work. We recognise that sovereignty was never ceded—this always was, and always will be, Aboriginal land.

As mental health practitioners, we honour the ongoing resilience, wisdom, and practices of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We commit to learning from First Nations ways of healing, community, and connection.
