People who are Black or from a Minority Ethnic background face particular challenges, both inside and outside of work, which may contribute to their poor mental health. MindForward Alliance UK has created resources that will increase the business community's understanding of this area, and provide evidence-based guidance for action, so that more businesses can build mentally healthy, diverse and inclusive workplaces for all of their people.
MindForward Alliance UK, in partnership with Lloyds Banking Group, commissioned research to better understand:
- What are the challenges that negatively impact the mental health of employees who are Black or from a Minority Ethnic background
- What actions can businesses take in response
