Abstract
Background: Despite clear evidence detailing the disparities in care received by Black service users (SUs), there have been limited interventions designed to reduce these inequalities and address the mistrust that Black communities experience within mental health care. The ‘See Me’ training is an intervention that uses video testimonials co-produced with both experts by experience and experts by profession to improve the care of Black people with psychosis, within the North-East London NHS Foundation Trust (NELFT). Aim: The current project aimed to investigate, from the perspective of mental health professionals, the experience and impact of receiving the ‘See Me’ training within the context of addressing racial inequalities in Early Intervention in Psychosis services. Method: A qualitative design, using semi-structured online interviews was utilized to obtain data from twenty-one mental health professionals who received the ‘See Me’ training. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. Results: A thematic analysis was completed using the interview data from twenty-one participants. The analyses resulted in six superordinate themes and seventeen subthemes, which highlighted the importance of adopting the clients' perspective, prioritising the service user's voice, providing room for reflection, promoting a sense of shared humanity, and ensuring psychological safety. Recommendations for future training were discussed. Conclusion: This is the first study that has qualitatively explored the experience and impact of attending the ‘See Me’ training intervention. It provides valuable insight into the subjective experiences of mental health clinicians who attended the training. This can aid in the development of future interventions aimed at reducing racial inequalities in mental health care.
