How are we doing? A coproduced approach to tracking young Black men’s experiences of community wellbeing and mental health programmes

How are we doing? A coproduced approach to tracking young Black men’s experiences of community wellbeing and mental health programmes There are few culturally relevant tools focusing on young Black men’s mental health outcomes. Using approaches that lack cultural sensitivity limit services’ ability to know whether they are working well, and can lead to mistrust and disengagement. Funded by Mind, this report from the Centre for Mental Health looks at how they designed a new, culturally informed approach to monitoring young Black men’s outcomes for accessing wellbeing support — Culturally appropriate evaluation for young Black men. It was coproduced with young Black men to identify what impact a service has on their mental health and wellbeing. Community wellbeing and mental health programmes are being asked to pilot the tool, to help determine its effectiveness.
