Keep this in mind. Discrimination, marginalization, dismissiveness, etc. is NOT acceptable. Remember or watch a "A Time to Kill", the ending argument Matthew McConaughey's argument is priceless. When he describes the horrible crime, he asks the jury "picture that the victim is WHITE". If many of our politicians and government officials think this way - it can be a game changer...]]> 2021-04-20 16:50:13 UTC https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/bace0q4rb4pptmk9/wish/1438895036 Funding for culturally competent mental health staff https://padlet.com/edwardmkiely/bace0q4rb4pptmk9/wish/1438901725 From my understanding, mental health professionals often receive little training in cultural differences. The mental health system in the UK is Eurocentric. More funding is required for mental health provision, particularly in the training of BME therapists.
