Express your interest in tackling inequalities

There is work happening in Birmingham's mental health services to tackle race inequalities and make things fairer and more equal - so you can get the help you need, have a good experience, and achieve good outcomes from the help you receive.

To tackle these inequalities, we need your help. We would like to hear your views and experiences to gain a better understanding of what needs to be improved.

We will be inviting you to participate in workshops where you can tell us how things need to improve. The workshops will be very relaxed, you might find the things we do in the workshops fun and interesting, there will be food and refreshments, and there will also be a payment for your participation.

If you are interested, provide your details in the form and we will soon be in touch to tell you more. Thank you.
