Hidden Survivors: Uncovering the Mental Health Struggles of Young British Muslims
BCBN in partnership with the University of East London, School of Psychology today launched a hard hitting report ‘Hidden Survivors, Uncovering the Mental Health Struggles of Young British Muslims’ following a successful online event on Tuesday 22nd June 2021 attended by over 100 people and hosted by Shadow Minister for Mental Health, Dr Rosena Allin-Khan MP.
Dr Allin-Khan opened the event by saying: “Even before the pandemic, young people’s mental health was in crisis, Coronavirus has only deepened the existing problems that previously existed providing a vital insight into the experience of young Muslims who have accessed mental health services. This report reminds us very starkly that anyone regardless of background can suffer with their mental health and there really is no one size fits all approach when it comes to support”.
