> Dear Members,
> The BE4 Project has been established to improve the quality of information
> and appropriate treatment in mental health and social care to Black and
> Minority Ethnic people in Cardiff. We are currently building our
> website with the aim of having it up and ready by the end of October.
> I am writing to you to request you help in developing BE4's links
> section. It may be that there are already links on other websites that
> we can link to (in order not to reinvent the wheel). There may be
> websites you know of that need wider recognition. There may websites
> charting the progress of projects similar to BE4s that we should know
> about. There may be key documents listed on particular sites that we can
> direct people to. Do you know of any? Can you help?
> Please send recommendations to me off-list ([log in to unmask]),
> indicating the sub-title (listed below) you think your suggested links
> should come under. I will collate the responses and send them to all
> those who express an interest. All suggestions welcome!
> Possible sites we are seeking to establish reciprocal links with include:
> 1)health and health-related webpages dedicated to Black and Ethnic
> Minority users (locally, regionally as well as nationally) - for example
> http://www.ohn.gov.uk/gateway/people/population/black.htm)
> 2) Black and Ethnic Minority mental health groups and organisations
> 3) Organisations, trusts and hospitals where projects as well as
> strategies, policies and practices rooted in the needs of diverse users
> are being developed or rolled out (for example, 'Barefoot' health workers
> project - http://www.wales.nhs.uk/lhg/page.cfm?orgid=262&pid=509)
> 4) Sites providing information and guides in our key areas of study and
> interest (for example Promoting health and well being in wales
> (http://www.hpw.wales.gov.uk/).
> 5) Sites specifically aimed at users' needs
