Race and mental health Identifying the role of Mind in building the anti-racism movement within the mental health sector

Published on 18 February, 2026.

Our research provides the evidence and insights necessary for Mind, other charities and the whole mental health sector to radically transform how they support people from ethnic minority communities with mental health problems. This report shares first-hand experiences of people from ethnic minority communities who have interacted with mental health organisations and initiatives. Together they provide a clear picture of the problems and challenges they face, as well as the possible solutions. Our overall ambition is that no ethnicminority community is denied the mental health support they need and deserve. The mental health sector must be anti-racist.
