Ethnic Minority Bereavement Support

The aim of the project is to make bereavement support accessible to people from diverse communities.

There is an increased demand for culturally competent service delivery, and we intend to build on our success of providing inclusive culturally relevant mental health support over the years and to improve service access and integration with a strong focus on preventive activity through the recognition of anticipatory grief and support for families, friends, and carers, ensuring everyone has equitable access to high quality bereavement care and support when they need it.

BMHS recognize that every person’s bereavement experience is different, and that unresolved grief can lead to complex mental health problems, anxiety, depression, and the risk of suicide. Our service will complement the NHS by offering daily or as-needed support to bereaved people. Leveraging on our multilingual capacity in the team, BMHS will support minority ethnic people at the most difficult time in their lives by helping to navigate feelings in real-time and facilitate new sustainable coping mechanisms.
