BME-1

People from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities tend to have poorer health, a shorter life expectancy and have more difficulty in accessing health care than the majority of the population. Mental health is an area of particular concern for the minority communities in the UK’s multicultural society. The most important factors in the mental health of BME personnel are largely similar to the wider population, namely, heavy workload, trauma and personal problems.

However some BME individuals can have additional mental health pressures which may include

  • Perceived or actual barriers caused by intentional or unintentional discrimination, which can affect the mental state of individuals.
  • Perceived and actual racism and discrimination can have a cumulative or direct impact on mental health.
  • Community and cultural pressures

I felt comfortable speaking about my problems and benefitted from coming up with an outcome I agreed on. Thanks.

The service has helped me so much, from feeling despair to having some confidence is an amazing feeling. I am so glad that I took my friend's advice and telephoned. It has helped me change my life.

I learned techniques to help cope and deal with everything. Techniques I can use in my day to day life. I trust my therapist.

I’ve learned a lot about myself and it’s really helped focusing on me rather than just past traumas.
