Partisan is a small, Black-led Community Interest Company, born out of a pull from the community for accessible and culturally sensitive mental health and wellbeing support, and a push from traditional mental health systems which were not meeting the needs of our most marginalised and racialised communities. 

Partisan is a diverse, culturally sensitive, forward-thinking team of experienced Psychotherapists and Clinical Psychologists. We are best known for our work on the borders of mental health systems; alongside children, young people, families, and communities. 

Our vision is a future world where help systems centre marginalised and racialised communities, and where power, knowledge and resource are shared as part of a more connected, just and equitable world. This means unlearning that the current colonial and capitalist systems are fit for purpose, and relearning how to act, live and be. 

We don’t believe that problems and therefore solutions exist within individuals. Instead we believe interventions are needed at all levels of the complex system in which people find themselves. We are upstanders and accomplices who disrupt systems and join communities in the fight for equity, social and racial justice. 

We look to amplify the voices of others, rather than our own, empowering communities to take the lead.
