Cultural Wellbeing Programme

Putting your mental health first.

A partnership committed to culturally appropriate care

The programme is designed to place your needs at the centre of delivery.

In 2023, African Caribbean Mental Health Services, Empower Consultants CIC, and Fikawelie Mental Health Unit CIC partnered to offer culturally tailored mental health services in Manchester and Trafford. We provide sensitive, bespoke mental health interventions to South Asian, Black African, Caribbean, and dual heritage individuals with severe mental illness.

Our ongoing commitment is to ensure our community’s mental health needs are met, wherever possible.

  • Address Cultural Disparities
    Identify and address disparities in access to mental health resources and early intervention services.
  • Collaborate with Community Partners
    Work together with community and public sector organisations in Manchester and Trafford to amplify the impact of the project.
  • Reduce Cultural Stereotypes
    Challenge and break down harmful stereotypes that contribute to bias and misunderstanding within mental health services.
  • Promote Mental Health and Wellbeing
    Highlight the role that cultural awareness can play in enhancing mental health and overall wellbeing.
