Health & Wellbeing
Right Here is a five year project which aims to radically change the way mental health is viewed and delivered to BAME young people across the UK.
The Newham Right Here Project is a group of young people from the London Borough of Newham, aged between 16-25.
Mental Health issues that affect young people locally is a gradual process.
We aim to tackle the stigma associated with Mental Health, and want to promote positive Mental Health and well-being.
Historically the BAME communities are disproportionately the highest service users of mental health services. We only access services when we are in crisis. If anger management and depression are all mental health conditions then most of us will know someone that could use some help.
The project empowers young people to make a change and difference for other young people around their mental health by trying to break down the stigma and giving them better information.
