Episode description

Black women experience substantially higher rates of mental health problems than white women. Black men experience psychosis around 10 times more often than white men. Yet white people are more than twice as likely to be receiving treatment for mental health problems.

The coronavirus pandemic and police brutality in the US have had a huge impact on the mental health of Black British people. But is the system equipped to deal with this trauma?
