Dancing to our own tunes: Reassessing black and minority ethnic mental health service user involvement (original) (raw)

This work emphasizes the necessity for enhanced involvement and leadership among black and minority ethnic (BME) communities in mental health services. It reflects on initiatives developed by the National Survivor User Network (NSUN) and The Afiya Trust, aimed at ensuring that marginalised voices inform and shape mental health policy and practice. The paper outlines strategic priorities for fostering alliances, building the capacity of local BME groups, and establishing a clear political voice to address racism within the mental health system.
