How can mental healthcare for black women be improved?
African and Caribbean people are seven times more likely than white people to be diagnosed as suffering from a major mental illness and a recent public inquiry described the failure to give ethnic minority people proper mental healthcare as a 'festering abscess'.
But until now, much of the emphasis has been on improving mental healthcare for black men, so what about women?
Dr Rosemary Mallett, Executive member of the Network of Black Mental Health Organisations and Shirley Lindo, mental health service user discuss the issues with Jenni.
