Tuesday, 18 March 2008
Outside the Box has recently produced two reports from a project looking at recovery experiences of people from black and minority ethnic (BME) communities in Edinburgh. The project was initiated by the National Resource Centre for Ethnic Minority Health (NRCEMH) and Scottish Recovery Network (SRN).

The project brings together 3 small projects, based at Men in Mind, the NHS Lothian Minority Ethnic Mental Health Project, and Saheliya, a women’s project in Edinburgh.

The first report describes the points raised by men at an event which was organised by Men in Mind and Outside the Box. View / download Recovery and minority ethnic men in Edinburgh.

The second report describes the points raised by people who are in touch with the Royal Edinburgh Hospital based Minority Mental Health Project and who have used mental health services. View / download Report from the Minority Ethnic Mental Health Project
