This week we have a guest, Yannick Yalipende. Yannick is currently training as a Clinical Associate Psychologist in the NHS and completing an MSc in Applied Neuropsychology from the University of Bristol. Yannick is also the Founding Director of Black People Talk (BPT); an organisation that supports the mental health of the UK’s Black community through psychoeducational and therapeutic peer support groups. Following his current role, Yannick hopes to qualify as a Clinical Neuropsychologist, to provide much-needed representation in the sector and continue challenging inequalities within mental health care. Yannick and I met when we volunteered at the BiPP Network together. 

You can find Yannick on Twitter, you can find out more about Black People Talk here. You can also find out more about the BiPP Network here, an organisation formed to broaden access to careers in psychology.
