Good Afternoon,
Although there is still some 'tweaking' to be done, it is my pleasure to
inform you that the set of webpages covering the BE4 project has been
mounted on the internet. The BE4 website has been launched to support a
programme of research commissioned to improve the quality of information and
appropriate treatment in mental health and social care to African,
African-Caribbean, Chinese, South Asian, and Vietnamese people living in the
Cardiff wards of Butetown, Grangetown, and Riverside.
This website allows us to provide information about the project's
development and progress. It is possible to search and browse information
about related projects and initiatives underway in Wales that are targeting
Black and Minority Ethnic people. Also, you can access regional, national,
and international links and discussion groups as well browse our section
spotlighting key articles and summaries. On behalf of the BE4 team, thanks
to everyone who contributed information.
Best wishes,
Roiyah
