racial justice
mental health week
MIND, the Mental Health Foundation and other charities and public bodies rarely agree on when to hold a week to raise public awareness of mental health issues. However, all agree that mental health is a key topic in Britain today and one that has a particularly devastating impact on ethnic minority communities.
Basic questions are raised in the material about how to improve the nation's mental health and about the relationship between a person's culture and identity and their mental health. It can be used at any time of year.
