Black Men On The Couch

Until Thurs 10 Oct View Venues, Dates & Times

Event to complement the venue's upcoming production Revealed

An event that sees high profile men interviewed by an experienced talking therapist on a couch in front of a live audience.

Some of the men previously featured on the couch include Benjamin Zephaniah, Ashley Walters, David Lammy and Stan Collymore.

Black Men on The Coach was developed by Rotimi Akinsete a Black male counsellor, to help combat mental health stigma and to encourage all, but particularly men who identify as Black, to openly discuss their mental and emotional health, and think about counselling and therapy as a form of support.

There are many barriers to men of African heritage talking about their problems and worries; this initiative highlights this issue while offering the ‘couch’ to high profile men. This is great for younger Black men - or indeed ALL men - who see these role models go public with their emotions.

Guests at this event include:
Dr Kehinde Andrew - Academic, activist, TV personality and author whose books include Back to Black: Retelling Black Radicalism for the 21st Century (2018). For more information about Kehinde
