点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Over two years I will work with community mental health groups to find out about their acitivities andhow they can be better supported in the resources they use to support for black and minority ethnicpeople (BAME).In the first year I will investigate the activities of BAME community groups and what other researchershave written about the effectiveness of the work they do. I will be exploring paperwork made by 2-4community groups with information about the activities they run. The definition of paperwork is verybroad and could be anything considered relevant including: emails, leaflets or meeting minutes, theymay also include dissertations and theses. I will use the paperwork to describe the main patterns I see incommunity groups and how resources (such as funding or time) affect activities they run. When I haveformed an idea of what BAME community groups do, I will illustrate the support they provide with adiagram. The diagram will also show other themes that influence their activities. I will also summarisewhat I find from published research work on BAME community groups. In the second year I willinvestigate how BAME community groups can be supported to make best use of their resources. I willwork in a placement role at BAME community mental health groups with the aim of bringing in moreresources for the groups. I think this is really important so that the research brings some sort of practicalchange that I can help to facilitate.
