”TACKLING MENTAL HEALTH BIASES AND STIGMA AGAINST AFRICAN MEN IN WALES AND ENGLAND”
CultureMindsUK was established in April 2023 to provide culturally sensitive mental health support specifically for African men in Wales and England. This initiative addresses the biases and stigma that often prevent African men from seeking help for mental health issues.
CultureMindsUK is dedicated to offering a dedicated approach to mental health, recognising that the challenges African men face are often rooted in cultural, societal, and historical contexts. By creating an environment of trust and understanding, we aim to foster resilience and promote mental wellbeing within the African community in Wales and England.
We do this by providing a monthly mental health discussion club, organising a mental health awareness workshops, peer support groups, and partnerships with local organisations to widen access to mental health resources, create access to health and wellbeing resources, and encourage open discussions.
Our Vision for a better Future
We are committed to fostering a future where mental health and wellbeing amongst Africans are prioritized and supported through culturally tailored interventions and inclusive practices. We envision a society where individuals from diverse cultures feel understood, valued, and equipped with the tools to navigate the complexities of mental health.
