We also know that both public data and insight from our young people tells us that Disabled people are more disproportionately affected by mental health struggles. And for Black Disabled young people, racial and intersectional inequality can make their experience of mental health far more complex.
This project is part of our ongoing commitment to create content that serves Black Disabled young people and help them feel less alone with their mental health. And to ensure that content meets the needs of the community, we want to commission work created by people from the community.
Alongside this project, we’re working on improving our accessibility across our channels, reviewing the content on our website to ensure it speaks to Black Disabled young people, and undergoing staff training to deepen our understanding of intersectionality and disability.
