Join ethnic carer discussion forum on Friday
If you are caring for someone with mental illness who is from an ethnic background, advice and support can be found via the Ethnic Mental Health Carers Forum.
The forum is for families and carers from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. It is carer led and provides a safe space for those suffering mental ill-health, and their carers to engage with health providers, educate and influence services. Health professionals are also welcome.
Sessions are held virtually, and the forum will next meet on Friday 23 February from 10.30am to noon.
It will be chaired by carer’s advocate, Matthew McKenzie with guest speakers including Joseph Price from the University of Kent who will talk about engaging people with severe mental illness with health research in Kent.
Contact Matthew McKenzie via email at mmckenz11@hotmail.com to receive the Zoom meeting link.
