Healthwatch Lambeth to include black carer’s voices

Calling carers from Black African and/or Black Caribbean communities in Lambeth. There is an exciting project that asks for your views.

It has consistently been shown that black men have the poorest experiences and outcomes when it comes to mental health services. So Healthwatch Lambeth wants to hear your experiences of caring a male relative who has a Serious Mental Illness, been hospitalise as a result of their illness and then discharged to their GP.

This is a core part of Healthwatch Lambeth’s new mental health project and each carer would receive a £15 shopping voucher for their time.

The borough of Lambeth want those to recover, stay well, and lead a fulfilling life.

Lambeth Healthwatch also wants to talk to carers as they play a key role in supporting people with a Serious Mental Illness.
