2020

**Dismantling the master’s house*: becoming anti-racist**

ISPS UK webinar 25 November 2020.

In this webinar, our panel explored the subject of institutional racism within the mental health system. We also launched a documentary film project which ISPSUK is proud to be supporting, emerging from our 2018 conference on psychosis and institutional racism. This was the first time the trailer had been screened publicly. The film is a hard hitting documentary examining structural racism in the UK mental health system. Told from a social justice perspective.

The webinar is available to watch on YouTube, please click here.

*’Dismantling the master’s house’ refers to a quote from Audrey Lorde, who described herself as a ‘black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet’. The quote reads “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house”.
