Closed Funded and sustainable mental health support networks for BAME communities.

Closed on

As of current, there is little to no specific mental health support for BAME individuals. BAME communities can face discrimination in every part of life; from racist attacks to prejudice, not to mention systemic racism, and as a result, the mental health of many BAME individuals suffer.

The Government has a duty to set up and financially support systems and networks that benefit the mental health of BAME individuals. Stable mental health is the foundation of a happy and fulfilling life; we know that with good mental health, drug usage decreases, which almost always sees a decrease in crime rate, which in turn benefits our neighborhoods and boroughs. The Government, therefore, has a responsibility to set up funded and sustainable BAME mental health support networks and systems.
