In the UK,racial and ethnic minority groups,specifically Black racial minority groups,have higher rates of common mental disorders and severe mental illness (SMI) such as schizophrenia in comparison to their White counterparts and poorer mental health outcomes. and service outcomes.
In recent years,the literature has identified a need for culturally competent mental health treatments for racial minority groups and tailored interventions to address their unique needs and improve mental health outcomes.
Creative Arts Therapies (CATs),which include music,dance,visual arts,and drama,have been shown to improve upon a multitude of psychiatric disorders including depression,anxiety,and schizophrenia. Black racial minority groups,specifically African and Caribbean cultures,play a large role in daily life and have become important mediums for maintaining contact with their home countries.
This study seeks to address if creative arts therapies can be utilized for Black racial minority young people as culturally informed mental health interventions. The current study will involve a series of focus groups with 24 Black racial minority patients aged 16-24 within NHS care and 24 clinicians working with these individuals.
The current study aims to investigate the attitudes and opinions of Black racial minority young people,and clinicians on the use of CATs for the improvement of mental-wellbeing and potentially culturally competent treatment options for this population. We aim to understand how to improve mental health services for Black racial minority young people and explore if creative arts therapies can be a helpful intervention that is culturally relevant for this population.
