The Community Development team supports and develops mental health projects with BAME community groups and organisations to promote good mental health and wellbeing across communities.
Working with different organisations, we deliver culturally specific training in mental health to create mental health champions and workers to promote and deliver wellbeing projects.
These include weekly peer support groups, individual support, workshops and wellbeing events to support people’s individual mental wellbeing journeys, find mentors and receive practical help and support. Groups focus on connectedness, aiming to reduce isolation and build skills, resources and resilience across individuals, families and communities.
Our peer support groups are held in various community centres, GP practices and schools.
