Alternative Help Systems for Marginalised and Racialised Communities (360G-phf-42750)

Partisan develops alternative mental health systems, builds community capacity, and promotes equitable power, knowledge, and resource sharing for racialised and marginalised groups. Partisan aims to expand and further sustain its community-driven mental health support programmes for marginalised and racialised young people. Initially focusing on Lewisham, it will scale its ‘4 Pillars’ model, addressing the mental health and wellbeing needs particularly of Black and racially minoritised communities. Funding will enhance its infrastructure, support staff development, and strengthen partnerships with local organisations, schools, and statutory services. Additionally, Partisan will pilot its approach in new regions, co-designing culturally relevant services with young people and community stakeholders, and advocate for systemic change at local and national levels.
