This brief guide has been written in collaboration with SEVA, the Manchester team of development workers for mental health of black and minority ethnic communities. It has been written in response to a stated need for a straightforward and general guide about mental health that would be useful for Manchester’s diverse ethnic communities. This publication is being circulated for comments as to its usefulness and to see whether it would be used if translated, and if so, into which languages.

The group has recognised the vulnerability to poor mental health for people who have long term physical health conditions. This discussion paper has been developed which seeks the views of people who have long term health conditions, their carers and the professionals who treat and support them. Its aim is to arrive at an agreed strategy for improving mental health and preventing mental ill health for this group of people.
