VCSE (voluntary, community, social enterprise) mental health response team have a collaborative approach to tackle the inequality with communities through the pandemic, especially looking at age, BAME, disability.

All services are funded by GMHSCP – Greater Manchester health and social care partnership.

Just think….. To be able to talk to a counsellor/therapist in your own language is so important. We need to think about the impact of language on mental health.

It is important when suffering to use the correct empathetic wording. It is also important to use appropriate interpreters who are able to translate wording and cultural context.

Think about the different impact Covid is having on different communities;

For example – Jewish men can only pray in groups of 10 men know as a minion and this can not be done through zoom. This will seriously be impacting on their mental health.
