Tackling Mental Health Stigma in the BAME Community
The motion
That the Parliament considers that the BAME community faces vast inequalities regarding mental health; further considers that members of the BAME community often face multi-layered levels of discrimination that not only exacerbates mental health problems but can make it harder to seek assistance; condemns all forms of racial discrimination and inequality; welcomes the work of charities such as See Me, and acknowledges that the charity seeks to end mental health discrimination through raising awareness and offering support to victims of mental health discrimination.
