SACMHA was set up over 30 years ago to meet the needs of members of Sheffield’s African Caribbean Community experiencing mental ill health.
The issue of their first newsletter aims to capture what is happening in the organisation, focussing on direct support through engaging, consulting and informing the African Caribbean community in Sheffield.
As David Bussue, Service Director explained “The pandemic, coming at the same time as the impact of the murder of George Floyd and others has shone a glaring light on health and social inequalities as they impact the African Caribbean community in Sheffield. As a result of this volatility we have completely revised our delivery plan and have become active in a range of adult social care services with regard to both mental and physical health.”
