Select all that apply.
How important is it to you that crisis and support services understand the cultural experiences of African, Black and Caribbean communities?
Have you ever felt that an existing mental health, crisis, or social service did not fully understand your cultural background or personal circumstances?
If a confidential phone service were available to provide emotional support, crisis assistance, and connections to community resources, how likely would you be to use it or recommend it to someone you know?
