Mental Health Awareness Week runs from 10 - 16 May 2021. This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, we want to raise awareness of stigma in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.

We’re pleased to hear from Jaffrin and Munirah, who speak out about their experiences of mental health stigma in their Somali and Bengali communities and what we can do to change this. Listen to the podcast: 

“Mental health does not discriminate, so why should we?”

"There is stigma by the older generation and an attitude to just ‘get on with it’ – which may have delayed the time for me to seek help."

“I want to be a catalyst for change wherever I can”

“Being vulnerable and looking to learn something new to help your physical and mental wellbeing is a major strength. It’s difficult, which is why it can be scary. It’s so worth it, though!”
