The Griot Institute is organising a consultation event for Black women on the treatment and support for chronic fibroids.
The Fibroids Fraternitee meeting will examine questions about the kind of health care Black women want in relation to chronic fibroids.
What would a Black women-friendly service look like? What support do women want to deal with the disabling aspects of suffering from chronic fibroids? What medical and clinical interventions have we had and how have these affected us? What lifestyle and natural approaches have we used to good effect?
For many years, Griot has run peer support forums for Black women with chronic fibroids with presentations from expert patients, clinicians and naturopaths. They are consulting to find out what women want in their new series of monthly forums. They also want to know how younger women want to be supported and how they can access the vast knowledge of older Black women who have accumulated a vast range of knowledge on how fibroids were dealt with ‘back home’ in order to explore potential wider options for women with chronic fibroids
The event will take place at Deptford X, 9 Brookmill Road, London SE8 4HL, on Saturday 10th June 2017 from 1pm to 5pm

This event is in collaboration with the AntiUniversity Now Festival 2017.
