Resources for
Youth Practioners
As youth workers dedicated to empowering young people from Black and Black mixed-race communities, you have the opportunity to build your own toolkit of learning from the Young Changemakers programme.
Our collection of videos showcases the powerful experiences and insights of these young leaders as they tackle racial injustices in mental health support.
By engaging with this content, you can gain practical strategies and inspiration to better support and amplify the voices of young people in your community.
This toolkit will equip you with the knowledge to foster inclusive environments that prioritise the lived experiences of those you serve, ultimately creating meaningful change in mental health support and services.
A Space to Be Me
Racism is harming young Black people’s mental health and mental health services are not doing enough to mitigate these harms, according to a report from Centre for Mental Health, The Diana Award and UK Youth following the Young Changemakers programme.
The report, A Space To Be Me, shows how social action led by young people can address the reasons for mental health inequalities, for example by addressing hair discrimination faced by young Black women, and by tackling racist micro-aggressions in schools and a lack of effective support in health services.
