Holding Space For Grace: A Conversation With Social Worker Rohan Thompson

Let's Talk with Che Marville

Che spoke to Social Worker and Therapist Rohan Thompson about mental health and Black Folks in Canada. Rohan brings an anti-racism analysis to how he supports racialized individuals and is sought-after because of this focus. They discuss the unspoken pain of marginalized black people made more vulnerable by the pandemic, the definition of white supremacy and male toxicity and creating space for the pain of Black men, including actor Will Smith. Rohan believes that it is not about blame but learning how to give voice to pain, creating space to express suffering, and learning to question what we think is normal.
