Black History Month 2024
Discover ‘Untold Stories’ a project by BMMUK
Research has shown that older members of the Black community who are struggling with their mental health will not actively seek help.
At Black Minds Matter UK, we understand the nuanced reasons why older Black people are less likely to seek help for their mental health. We also understand the impact that can be created when Black individuals are afforded a space to have their experiences heard.
That’s why we’re launching ‘Untold Stories’, a project to honour the mental health experiences of our older family members and friends for Black History Month.
“Mental health wasn’t spoken about the way it is now when I was growing up. I definitely went through my own struggles, but sharing them was never an option. That would have been seen as airing out your dirty laundry and bringing shame to the family. So instead I just ignored it”- David, London, 72
