The Cultural Connection
The Cultural Connection operates at the intersection of mental health, community advocacy, and the criminal justice system. We focus on dismantling systemic barriers through evidence-based, community-driven solutions across three core pillars:
1. Mental Health Empowerment and Employability: Through "Steps 2 Success," we support individuals impacted by mental health challenges and systemic barriers, offering holistic employability and wellbeing initiatives in both forensic and community settings.
2. Community Advocacy and Training: We empower African and Caribbean communities to understand their mental health rights and navigate services effectively, creating sustainable advocacy through targeted training.
3. Research and Systemic Change: We drive systemic reform by researching inequalities in mental health and allied sectors, using insights to inform policy and create a more equitable society.
Together, these pillars transform lives and champion social equity.
