On Tuesday 15th November, the Heart of Frontline Practice alliance hosted a poignant session at the Northridge Education & Research Centre in Mahon, Cork. This 2.5-hour workshop, led by Dr. Naomi Masheti, focused on 'Inclusive Practice: Breaking the silence around race and mental health'. Dr. Masheti, coordinator of Cork Migrant Centre and a seasoned expert in the psychosocial wellbeing of Sub-Saharan African migrant children, facilitated a deep dive into these critical issues.

Organised by Dr. Maeve Hurley, Dr. Nicola O’Sullivan, and Jim Sheehan from SHEP, the workshop aimed to provide a reflective space for frontline practitioners to connect and share insights, reinforcing the importance of values-based, heartful practice. The session was specifically designed to enhance understanding and strategies around inclusivity in professional settings, particularly concerning racial and mental health issues.

Participants had the unique opportunity to pause their daily routines and engage with Dr. Masheti’s extensive knowledge and experience. Her approach not only offered practical advice but also inspired attendees to integrate these insights into their professional lives, fostering a more inclusive and compassionate environment.

This event underscores the ongoing commitment of the Heart of Frontline Practice alliance to support those in frontline roles through continuous professional development and reflective practice opportunities.
