Young Changemakers: Reimagining mental health for racialised communities

Thea Joshi is joined by Ayanda Sibanda (Changemaker Coordinator at The Diana Award), Aaliyah Mulenga (one of our Young Changemakers) and Kadra Abdinasir (Associate Director for Children and Young People’s Mental Health at the Centre). Listen in as we learn about the Young Changemakers programme, which is equipping young people with the tools to produce social action projects aimed at tackling mental health inequalities in racialised communities. We discuss why this project is so needed, the social action that’s been happening so far, and the impact that being part of this programme is having on the young people involved. The Young Changemakers programme is a partnership between Centre for Mental Health, UK Youth and The Diana Award, and is funded by funded by players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.
