Mental health & well-being of BME Elders
CSIP ran a one year national project that aimed to promote the mental health and well being of black and minority (BME) ethnic elders and to improve access to mental health services.
The project will result in a range of practical resources to improve the access and quality of mental health and care services for BME elders and their families/ carers. These resources will include:
- A foundational report on research in the field of BME elder's mental health and mapping some of the leading community groups for BME elders
- National Mapping of projects and resources for BME Elders
- A range of resources developed by and for BME elder community groups, to view use the menu for this section on the right of the screen.
- A short film for BME elders on ‘living with depression' with voiceovers in several languages,
- A Guide for Commissioners of OPMH services: Working with BME elders
- A Guide for Health Practitioners and Voluntary Agencies Working with BME elders
