At The Dandelion Philosophy, our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion with Intention (DEI+) runs deep within our organisation and our approach to community aid and positive global change. These principles guide us, ensuring that we embrace our unique differences and perspectives while treating everyone fairly. Our commitment to DEI+ creates an environment that celebrates individuality, ensures equal opportunities, and amplifies marginalised voices, promoting inclusivity and empowerment for all.
Circles: A Modern Afrocentric Approach to Psychology
There’re multiple factors that differentiate black trauma from white trauma. The lingering effects of generations of slavery and segregation for black people in Africa and the United States have been carried forward throughout history leading to ongoing systematic discrimination. This unequal treatment impacts black and brown people's experience of trauma, their ability to process it, and their access to much-needed psychological support. It’s important to acknowledge that not all approaches to psychology need to look the same. The Dandelion Philosophy is building its own alternative Afrocentric approach to psychology. Our program, called “Circles”, reaffirms our brand, which seeks to honour and uplift people of colour who have experienced intergenerational trauma and psychological hardships.
