#BlackHistoryMonth is a time to reflect and explore how race, racism and mental health intersect among Black people in the UK.
But it’s more than a month. We need to think about this every month of the year.
If you're struggling and need support, speak to us đź’™
ALT Black History Month. A time to reflect, celebrate and learn.
It’s #BlackHistoryMonth2023, and this year’s theme is #SalutingOurSisters. We recognise that Black students face the impacts of racism daily, and are committed to embedding anti-racism in all of our work, not just this month but always.
Mental health is a universal human right. Yet certain groups, like refugees and asylum seekers, face greater challenges to their #MentalHealth.
Through our research, policy work and programmes, we work towards good mental health for all, not just for some.
