➤ Abstract
The final panel discussion in our series on racial equality will take place on Thursday, 15th of July, at 6pm. As part of this series on racial equality, this Thursday’s discussion is on “The Implications of Racism on Mental Health: Overcoming Structural Obstacles”. This panel discussion aims to explore the relationship between mental health and racism through a structural and institutional lens to uncover the factors that lead to negative mental health consequences for BIPOC and how best to address these issues.
It is now widely reported that experiencing racism can lead to negative mental health consequences, with research showing that the group with the highest score for severity of mental health symptoms, Black British adults, are also the least likely to receive treatment.
So what are some of the factors that lead to negative mental health consequences among BIPOC? What are the structural barriers that prevent BIPOC from accessing mental health treatment and how do we ensure effective treatment is accessible, particularly to the most vulnerable groups?
As the final part of a series aiming to highlight the multi-faceted and layered dimensions of racism, we are excited about this challenging, engaging, and important discussion. Ultimately this discussion aims to emphasise positive approaches in working towards the goal of racial equality and highlight suggestions for decision-makers on how best to make positive changes.
We are very excited about what is hopefully just the beginning of a focus on important topics and issues that we plan to continue to address this year.
