Are you a parent or carer from an ethnic minority background who is currently receiving support from community mental health services in South West London? Researchers at King’s College London are looking to hear from families about their experiences to help improve the support available to parents and carers.

Who can take part?

You may be eligible if you:

• Are aged 18–65
• Are currently under the care of South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust community mental health services
• Have caring responsibilities for a child under 18
• Identify as being from an ethnic minority background

Why take part?

Parents and carers from ethnic minority communities often face unique challenges when accessing mental health support. By sharing your experiences, you can help researchers understand what works well, what could be improved, and how services can better support families across South West London.

Your voice can contribute to developing more inclusive, family-focused mental health services for future generations.

Are practitioners involved?

The study is also inviting practitioners working in community mental health services within South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust to take part, helping to bring together both professional and lived experience perspectives.

Thank You for Your Time

Participants apart from practitioners will receive a thank-you gift in recognition of their time and contribution.
