@co_pact @OxPsychiatry @CHiMESCollab @KSBhui @Roisin_MM @NIHRresearch @karlmarlowe Doreen Joseph (Lived Experience Researcher) is telling us about the racial inequalities in our mental health system.

Racialised groups (e.g. Black & South Asian people) are more likely to be taken into hospital against their will under the Mental Health Act #CoPact
