Sanara Circle is a ‘by and for’ led organisation supporting women of colour (WOC) to better navigate their stress and trauma. We run a psycho-educational programme, in Arabic and in English, learning about stress and trauma as well as tools to manage stress. This moves into a peer support and resilience-building group in both languages. Sanara Circle have partnered with Brighton Women’s Centre to deliver this.

- any woman, age 18 years+ who identifies as a woman of colour/BME/Black racially minoritised (this includes mixed heritage)

- is able to participate and share in a group setting
- is interested in learning and exploring as a group
- is comfortable hearing different opinions and potentially witnessing some distress
- is able to commit to a regular attendance
