<div><strong>Für mehr rassismuskritische Psychotherapie – unterstütze unsere Ausbildung, um diskriminierungssensible Versorgung zu stärken.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hast du schon öfter miterlebt, dass rassifizierte Personen Angst davor haben, sich psychologische Hilfe zu suchen oder keine*n geeignete*n Therapeut*in finden?
</div>
<div>Du fragst dich, wie das sein kann, wenn das Recht auf Gesundheit doch ein Menschenrecht ist?
</div>
<div>Du willst (mehr) tun, um antirassistische Perspektiven in der Psychologie zu unterstützen? Jetzt hast du die Chance dazu!

<div><strong>Unsere Mission </strong>
</div>
<div>Wir sind? Latoja und Patiani, zwei Schwarze Psycholog*innen.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wir wollen? Dazu beitragen, die Versorgungslücke im psychischen Gesundheitssystem zu verkleinern, die durch den Mangel an rassismuserfahrenen und diskriminierungssensiblen Behandler*innen entsteht.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Wie? Wir werden beide im Laufe diesen Jahres unsere Approbationsausbildung zur Psychologischen Psychotherapeut*in in systemischer Therapie beginnen. Diese ist zwingend notwendig, um Psychotherapie im deutschen Gesundheitssystem über die Krankenkassen abrechnen zu können – etwas, das für (mehrfach) marginalisierte Hilfesuchende häufig entscheidend ist.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Darum solltest du uns unterstützen:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Wir sind seit Jahren aktiv in der Forschung, im Aktivismus, ehrenamtlich und beruflich an der Schnittstelle von Rassismuskritik und Psychologie tätig.
</li>
<li>Uns liegt Macht- und Herrschaftskritik am Herzen. Wir sind überzeugt, dass eine gute psychische Gesundheitsversorgung immer auch die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen und (krankmachenden) Kontexte berücksichtigen muss.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Die Herausforderung</strong>
</div>
<div>Die Ausbildung zur Psychologischen Psychotherapeut*in ist nicht nur mit einem hohen Maß an Verantwortung und einem intensiven Workload (inklusive Wochenendseminaren neben dem Klinikalltag) verbunden – sie ist auch mit erheblichen finanziellen Belastungen verknüpft. Eine Ausbildung kostet je nach Therapieschule und Institut 20.000 bis 60.000€ und dauert 3-5 Jahre. Oft können sich solche Ausbildungen nur jene leisten, die auf familiäre finanzielle Unterstützung zurückgreifen können.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Die Lösung</strong>
</div>
<div>Deine Unterstützung! Unsere beiden Ausbildungen kosten zusammen 60.000€. Das klingt erst einmal nach sehr viel Geld, aber wenn z.B. 2.000 Leute je 30€ spenden, ist der Betrag schon erreicht.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Wenn wir <strong>20.000€</strong> erreichen, ist das erste Jahr unserer beiden Ausbildungen abgedeckt.
</li>
<li>Mit <strong>40.000€ </strong>zwei Jahre …
</li>
<li>und mit <strong>60.000€</strong> die gesamte Ausbildung.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Deine Hilfe würde uns sehr entlasten und es uns ermöglichen, unser hohes Maß an Engagement für Rassismuskritik in der Psychologie und eine diskriminierungsärmere Gesundheitsversorgung aufrecht zu erhalten!

<div><strong>Black Therapists Fund</strong>
</div>
<div>For more anti-racist psychotherapy – support our training to strengthen discrimination-sensitive mental health care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Have you ever witnessed racialized people feeling afraid to seek psychological help or struggling to find a suitable therapist?
</div>
<div>Do you wonder how this can be the case when the right to health is a fundamental human right?
</div>
<div>Do you want to do more to support anti-racist perspectives in psychology? Now’s your chance!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Mission</strong>
</div>
<div>Who are we? We are Latoja and Patiani, two Black psychologists.
</div>
<div>What do we want? To help close the gap in mental health care caused by the lack of BIPoC therapists with expertise in discrimination-sensitive treatment.
</div>
<div>How? Both of us will begin our training as licensed psychological psychotherapists in systemic therapy this year. This qualification is essential for offering psychotherapy covered by public health insurance in Germany—something that is often crucial for (multiply) marginalized individuals seeking help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why Support Us?</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have been actively engaged for years in research, activism, and professional and volunteer work at the intersection of anti-racism and psychology.We are committed to critiquing power structures and systems of oppression. We believe that good mental health care must always consider societal conditions and the (harmful) contexts that shape people’s experiences.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Challenge</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Training to become a licensed psychological psychotherapist comes with great responsibility, an intense workload (including weekend seminars alongside clinical work), and significant financial burdens. Depending on the institute and therapeutic approach, the training costs between €20,000 and €60,000 and takes three to five years to complete. Often, only those with access to family financial support can afford it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The Solution</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support! The total cost for both of us to complete our training is €60,000. That sounds like a lot, but if 2,000 people each donate just €30, we can reach our goal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>With <strong>€20,000</strong>, we can cover the first year of both our trainings.
</li>
<li>With <strong>€40,000</strong>, we can fund two years.
</li>
<li>With <strong>€60,000</strong>, we can complete the full training.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your contribution would be a huge relief for us and allow us to continue our deep commitment to anti-racism in psychology and work toward a more equitable mental health care system!
