This talk will summarise the nature of inequalities for black people in mental health and examine whether the service response is proportionate to the levels of inequality. Additionally, I will highlight ways in which practice does not fully validate the experience of racism in its many forms by using a ‘service-user led’ rationale for not exploring the impact of racisms on black people’s lives; as if the trauma impact and risk can only be considered phenomenologically and does not exist in absolute terms.
