Question time has arrived in Warwickshire. A new creative
approach at looking to engage with people who have some crucial
things to say. The event will be hosted at the
'African Caribbean Project' (Next to Bath place), and already it
has created a pre- event buzz amongst the community.
It's an ideal opportunity to say what you think about local services,

Hello
Hey what shall i comment on? Lets have something controversial.........
Turned out to be a really good evening. Not as well attended as everybody hoped but those that bothered all had something worth saying. What was most impressive was the mind-meld between the young and the 'old (er)'
African Caribbean Men and Mental health service provision the only relationship which a public body can claim to have reached its quota. In the data rich target setting public provision arena. Ticking the BME box some would interpret this as reaching a milestone stating there inclusive, they are championing the community cohesion agenda and they are a diverse organisation. but what of the outcome? Where do those black men feature in the organisation?
Are they commissioners of services, Doctors, researchers no they are the 'patients' of a kind i would probably class them as inmates. As they have no voice and we as the black community are still having the same debate...
No doubt some health professionals would frown at these comments but do not just shake your head write your comments here lets have some real debate about the issues and identify were progression and improvement have been made within mental health provision for African Caribbean Men.
There is fatal revelation in our British society in that it is an acceptable social norm that Black men are associated in pathological manner with mental health service provision.
The meeting provided a broad agenda of items: educational attainment of black boys hopefully someone from that field will grace us with their comments on the successes and failings of our black pupils...
a colleague who attended ask me to post his comments:
The meeting/event was interesting, there were a 'cross fertilizations' of ideas which those who attended was assured would be looked into. A number of issues arose from mental health to finding a NHS doctor(dentist) in Leamington, this particular event will hopefully lead onto other similar meetings which will become more regular and pro-active and relevant to the black community.
Regards
