The chair of England's first public inquiry into mental health deaths vowed to "seek out the truth" - despite difficulties getting documents from the NHS.
The Power of Us conference was a step forward, but it is only one step in a much larger journey. The hope is that we continue to challenge and think critically about inclusion and equity.
Over the past 12 months, we've had over 200 conversations with Black carers, patients and users of mental health services about the things that matter to them when receiving services.
Catalyst 4 Change is proud to serve as the lead and accountable organisation for the Pathways to Independence project, delivered in partnership with a range of community-led organisations.
