[SLTs of Colour @OfSlts]

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of their skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.” N Mandela ‘94

[SLTs of Colour @OfSlts]

We need to be aware and mindful that the riots and unrest may impact the CYP and families whom we work with. Some may raise this in sessions or fearful/reluctant to leave their homes to attend appointments. 🧵 1/2
