Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic

Different ethnic groups have different rates and experiences with mental health. In general, people from BAME communities tend to have a higher rate of mental health problems and even less access to suitable and culturally appropriate mental health treatment. There are a number of reasons for this including racism, discrimination, and poverty. Mental health services often fail to understand and provide services that are acceptable and accessible to non-white British communities. 

This section provides statistics, coping methods, treatment methods and organisations aiming to improve mental health in BAME communities. 

Don't suffer in silence!

Research from Mind, a mental health charity, has shown that 1 in 4 people from BAME communities do not share their mental health experiences. Mental health problems tend to go unreported and untreated which inputs further to the stigma surrounding mental health. 

Mental health problems are treated differently in almost every culture in the world and the types of problems faced vary from community to community. Unfortunately, many mental health services are not equipped with the knowledge to handle and support people from different cultural communities. This lack of appropriate mental health care results in people feeling excluded from society and further declines in mental health. People from BAME communities who also identify as LGBTQ+ can face even further discrimination and declines in mental health. 

Refugees and asylum seekers are even further at risk of suffering from mental health problems. The traumatic events surrounding fleeing your home country can cause or increase the risk of mental health issues arising.
