Dear Samir
Touchstone in Leeds has recently won an award for its proactive approach to delivering equity-focused mental health services. As part of this the organisation has trained its staff working in the IAPT service to deliver a culturally adapted version of Behavioural Activation therapy for Muslim service users, who are underreferred for therapy and have poorer recovery outcomes.
The approach was developed at the University of Leeds with NIHR research funding. I’m copying in Richard Garland a senior manager at Touchstone who can provide more information. Other mental health services in Redbridge, Kirklees, Leeds and Oxford have also organised staff training for IAPT teams.
Best wishes
Ghazala

Subject: Case studies - mental health and racial disparities
Dear All,
Just a reminder on this. If there is anything out there that we should be aware of, do let us know.
Call for case studies:
tackling racial disparities in mental health
The Foundation is working with partners and NHS England to tackle racial disparities in mental health.
As part of this work, we are looking for information and case studies about
services that have worked to reduce racial disparities in mental health and improve outcomes for black and minority ethnic people. We want to understand what works, for who, and under what circumstances. This information will be used to develop clearer and
better policies.
If you have any information or examples, please contact Samir Jeraj on [log in to unmask]
