APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTING Please find below details of the latest briefing in the Race Equality Foundation's Better Health collection. Better Health 24: Forced Marriage and mental health Forced Marriage has emerged as an issue for concern for health practitioners and policy makers over the last 10 years. This paper considers both the extent of Forced Marriage in the UK, and the impact that Forced Marriage, and other associated problems, such as domestic abuse, can have upon the mental health of its victims. The paper highlights a number of organisations implementing good practice in supporting the victims of Forced Marriage, and emphasises the importance of partnership working between statutory serviecs and the third sector. http://www.better-health.org.uk/briefings/forced-marriage-and-mental-health The paper is free to download, and is available alongside other resources and events information.
