On Saturday, May 27th 2023, 3pm and 6pm, London, the Psychosis Therapy Project and USEMI Racial Trauma Clinic are organising the launch of COMADRES, a free therapeutic service for Latin-American Womxn in London, in alliance with FREEPSY, and with psychoanalyst Patricia Gherovici as guest speaker.
COMADRES is a free clinic for Latin-American Womxn in London, with a specialist team of Spanish and Portuguese speaking therapists. The launch brings together mental health professionals, grassroots organisations, and members of the Latin-American community to celebrate COMADRES. There is an increased demand for therapeutic support in the Latin-American community. In response to this, COMADRES offers free support to women with experiences of trauma, violence, and migration across London. Socio-economic precarity, domestic abuse, language and immigration hurdles are other common features in the experiences of the women they target.
A panel of COMADRES practitioners, the PTP-USEMI team and special guests will discuss the clinical challenges of this new clinic, with a view to leading creative conversations on therapeutic initiatives in the community.
Patricia Gherovici, US-based psychoanalyst from Argentina, and recipient of the 2020 Sigourney Award for her clinical and scholarly work with Latinx and gender variant communities, is the guest speaker of the event.
The Psychosis Therapy Project is a close ally of FREEPSY.
The event will take place on Saturday May 27th, 3pm and 6pm, at Effra Space 21 Effra Parade London SW2 1PX.
