SMI Programme Manager Masira speaks to BCB Radio to mark World Mental Health Day

Yesterday, our SMI Programme Manager Masira Hans spoke to BCB Radio to mark World Mental Health Day.

She said: “Understanding the nuances to inequalities and understanding the nuances to a person really helps them in their journey. Understanding systemic racism, understanding cultural baggage and understanding a person’s heritage are really, really important.

We can only help a person with their mental health if we understand the inequalities that they face.
