This is a book for practitioners - essentially a self-training book
but also one that could be used as a source of knowledge in a
complex and controversial field. The author knows about the
realities at the grass roots, how NHS mental health care is
currently set up, what types of approach are practicable and what
are not and more than all that he understands what busy
practitioners may look for in a book called a "handbook".' -
Extract from the Foreword by Dr Suman Fernando This book enables
front line practitioners to understand why it is important to
consider the specific needs of people from black and minority
ethnic (BME) backgrounds in mental health settings. It offers
practical guidance on how practitioners can take positive steps to
improve the quality of their work and their relationships with BME
service users, and ultimately how to improve their outcomes. By
advocating the practice of recognizing the individuality of each
service user, this book provides practitioners with the tools and
information they need to work fairly and effectively. Case examples
of organisations that have achieved a quality of delivery that is
valued by BME people are included, along with exercises that help
practitioners to make links between theory and their individual
practice. It is invaluable reading for all those working on the
front line in mental health.
