Kerrie Channer, Clinical Psychologist and Courtney Caris, Assistant Psychologist have produced a resource to support conversations within Teams and organisations about Racial Equity in mental health services.

This toolkit supplements the “Equality in Leeds Mental Health Services” documentary by Synergi Leeds and Words of Colour. The documentary features interviews with various partners in the Leeds healthcare system, highlighting the ways in which they are driving health equity in the city. 

Whether individuals are new to learning about Racial Equity in mental health, or would like to expand their expertise, this toolkit is accessible to all. 

The toolkit covers a number of topics but the five key themes are:

  • Diversity 
  • Cultural Competence 
  • Community Engagement 
  • Diverse Leadership
  • Culturally Sensitive Trauma-Informed Care

This resource can be shared freely amongst your Networks as a teaching/ training/ discussion aid.
