Abstract

Historical and ongoing gaps in mental healthcare for Black individuals in the UK, particularly within Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), have been well-documented. Despite international and national efforts to address these disparities, including the UN Declaration on the Rights of Persons Belonging to National or Ethnic, Religious and Linguistic Minorities and the UK Equality Act, inequalities persist. A 2018 review by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) highlighted that CAMHS continues to fail Black youth, with significant gaps in care. Furthermore, there are established links between poor mental health, youth, and gang violence. This is an ongoing doctoral research study investigating the mental healthcare experiences of young Ghanaian and Nigerian people in Inner London, using interpretative phenomenological analysis. An Impact Workshop was organised to disseminate my research findings, promote cultural humility, and improve mental healthcare outcomes.
