The BAME Wellbeing Advocacy Service is part of the Haringey Wellbeing Network (HWN) supporting racialised communities in Haringey with their holistic needs, towards better mental health, wellbeing and independence.
The is a short-term service (up to 3 months) where you will be allocated a fully trained advocate who can advocate on your behalf to support with things like, benefit applications and appeals, contact your landlord to resolve disrepair, accompany to appointments, source training and employment opportunities, ensure you have an annual physical health check and socially prescribe you to local wellbeing activities. We also offer a BAME Peer-Support for people that have a care-coordinator.
“I was looking for an organisation that understood my unfair experience with mental health services as a Black person. The BAME Wellbeing Service is just that and has connected me to other people and organisations. I am now looking forward to training to become a Peer-Researcher with Black Thrive where my voice will shape and support the mental health treatment of other people in Haringey.”
Social prescribing offers members practical support for managing their own mental health problems, encouraging individuals to take control through self-management. It enables the service to refer members to local and non-clinical services, supporting their mental health and wellbeing in a holistic way.
Please complete the self-referral form below and we will get back to you in the next couple of days.
