Our equality improvement work

We work to remove inequality of opportunity in the mental health sector. We have long history of supporting people facing multiple discrimination (for instance, discrimination because of their mental heath problems as well as other characteristics such as ethnicity, religion, sexuality or disability).

Policy work and human rights

We work to ensure people's human rights are fully respected and policies do not discriminate against vulnerable people.

Race, ethnicity and mental health

Anyone experiencing a mental health problem should get both support and respect. However, we know that for many people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities this is still not the case. Find out more about our work adressing this.

Young Black men

Our work to improve resilience of Young Black Men and enable them to better take care of their mental health and wellbeing.

Mental health and being LGBTIQ+

Those of us who are lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans are far more likely to experience a mental health problem than others because of wider discrimination in society. We are working together to reduce this disproportionality.

Our work with Muslim communities

We work with Muslim communities across the UK to improve emotional resilience and support wellbeing in a culturally appropriate way, building on Islamic principles and teachings from the Qur'an.

Empowering South Asian women

Our work supporting the wellbeing of South Asian women and empowering them to tackle the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental health.

Mental health of people with autism

We believe people on the autistic spectrum or with a learning disability who are also experiencing mental health problems deserve to receive better support than what is currently offered. We are working together with our local Minds to make this happen.
