Building health, wellbeing and real solutions together

As part of the South East London Integrated Care Board's partnership with Impact on Urban Health to improve mental healthcare for Black communities, there will be a Black Mental Health Community Action Workshop from 9 am – 4 pm on Thursday 12th March at St George's Cathedral Southwark.

At this event they will:

• imagine and describe what affirming mental health care looks and feels like for Black communities in south east London
• work together to map out how we get from where we are now to that vision - including the changes, actions, and partnerships needed
• identify practical ideas that could be developed further and funded as next steps
• share insights and learning across the Black maternal health and Black mental health programmes

They want to extend a particular invite to members of south east London's Black communities with have lived experience of mental health challenges or caring for someone who does, and Black community leaders and advocates. They are also keen to hear from healthcare professionals who are passionate about centering community voices and reducing health inequalities.

This programme aims to share power with communities to design solutions to health inequalities, collaboratively allocate funding, and oversee delivery of initiatives.
