What We Provide

We will provide flexible, person-centred, culturally sensitive one to one and group support services designed to tackle mental health and emotional problems, build awareness, tackle stigma and help find solutions. Our services will be delivered by expert and trusted local BAME organisations including workers with lived experience who will act as role models.  

Our partnership is made up of four local BAME-led organisations including the region’s only BAME-led provider of housing with support, an accredited and highly regarded Counselling Service, a leading recovery service and a community-led grassroots Group rooted in and growing out of local BAME communities.
