1.1Rationale and Outline 

• As to why this study.
• The rationale for selecting this topic developed in the course of my placement and at my present work place within a mental health establishment I gained an interest in the area of mental health and the issues surrounds the pathway into mental health care for Afro-Caribbean men. I aimed to enter the organisations with an open mind but the reality is I did have preconceived ideas about what my experience would entail. Throughout my place of work the things that I have learnt have considerably changed my perceptions of the narrative of Afro-Caribbean men with mental illness. By talking and building relationships with patients, they appeared to feel comfortable opening up to me and giving me greater insight into how society treats black male especially among police and criminal justice, where they are more likely to be institutionalised with harsher service such as constraint and isolation control. These negative stereotypes in regard to the Afro-Caribbean men induce negative perceptions about mental health services, forcing them to delay in seeking help. Such stigma is the largest challenge that Afro-Caribbean men suffering from the mental illnesses face.  I established this because patients would discuss very personal issues, putting a level of trust in me to keep things confidential and also to support them. What became apparent was the level of consistency amongst patients’’ experiences, which were plagued with negativity.

 

• Also by talking to family and friends about mental health issues, reactions generally supported the patients’ reports about negative perceptions and how black men are viewed. When I stated that I was working with people experiencing mental illness, I received comments such as, ‘Isn’t that a dangerous job?’, ‘Do you see patients alone?’ and ‘Are they not bad and dangerous?’ from these questions It occurs to me that there was a clear lack of understanding about mental health within the Afro-Caribbean community . My discovery has made me curious about into pathway into mental health care for Afro-Caribbean men, which has inspired me to base my research project on this subject.

African and Caribbean men and mental health
Introduction
The mental health needs of African and Caribbean men is an area for public concern. A substantial body of
research shows that these groups are disproportionately represented in mental health statistics. For example,
the Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection’s (2007) report on a one-day census of mental health
inpatient wards in England paints a bleak picture for black and minority ethnic people, in particular those of
African and Caribbean background. This disturbing situation persists despite the fact that the needs, issues
and concerns of black and minority ethnic people with mental health problems have been pushed to the fore of
the policy agenda (DH, 2003; DH, 2005). It has been acknowledged that achieving good mental health care for
individuals from these communities is one of the biggest challenges for mental health services in England and
Wales (Commission for Healthcare Audit and Inspection, 2005) because the disparities in rates of mental
illness, treatment, care and outcomes remain. Explanations for this seemingly intractable situation are mixed
and varied.

Key messages
The relationship between ‘race’, racism and mental health is complex and
more research is needed to understand the links
Black males find themselves in situations that place them at greater risk of
mental health problems, such as exclusion from schools, social deprivation,
crime and drug cultures and racial victimisation
Black men are less able to identify that they have mental health problems, are
unaware of sources of help, and fear that contact with services will lead to
loss of status. Yet, mental health professionals find it difficult to talk about
issues of ‘race’ and racism
Men from African and Caribbean backgrounds are over-represented in mental
health services. They come to the attention of services via the police and the
criminal justice system, and are more likely to receive the harsher end of
services, such as seclusion, control and constraint
African and Caribbean men have negative perceptions of mental health
services and therefore delay seeking help. This means that more coercive
methods are used to engage them with mental health services
Mental health services are in a position to respond positively to the mental
health needs of African and Caribbean men by building trust so as to address
the damaging effects of racism on emotional well-being. 1
