#BlackHistoryMonth
Following our focus groups with South Asian men and women this summer, we have launched a report with the findings, themes and recommendations that have surfaced.![]()
![]()
We found that stigma, shame, guilt and embarrassment were common barriers to South Asian men and women accessing mental health support, as well as family pressures and lack of accessible information.![]()

SMI Programme Manager Masira Hans, who co-led the groups alongside Leeds Mind, elaborated: "For the women, there were myths around ‘if I disclose I’m suffering with my mental health, I’m going to be classed as an unfit mother, or an unfit wife or daughter-in-law.'![]()

"With the men it was similar, they were saying ‘if I disclose I’m suffering with ill mental health, then my standing in the community, my credibility as the breadwinner, as the person in control, as a protector of other people, is going to come into disrepute.’"![]()

We have chosen to launch the report this week to mark #HateCrimeAwarenessWeek and show our commitment to there being #NoPlaceForHate at Mind in Bradford. We will continue to work with minority groups to understand and listen to experiences, and ensure that everyone feels comfortable and able to come to us for mental health support. ![]()

Hate crime can have a huge impact on mental health, and we are here for anyone that needs us.![]()
