OUR VISION
Working towards improving access to appropriate mental health care for the diverse ethnic minority and other marginalised communities. Our work not only contributes to addressing the huge Mental Health Treatment Gap in low and middle income countries (LAMIC), but has become increasingly important for the optimum development of mental health services in high income countries. We hope to continue this work with the support of our academic and NHS colleagues along with the wider community, working together to contribute to the University and NHS goal of social responsibility by catering for the diverse communities both within Manchester and globally.
