Last but not least:
An important event taking place in London on 22nd June 2009.
Frank Bruno will appear with Hari Sewell, a mental health expert on 22nd June 2009 at a conference -'Working with Ethnicity Race and Culture in Mental Health: Solutions within Reach'.
The event is being staged at Friends House, Euston Road, London by HS Conferences. Bruno who wrote about being admitted to a psychiatric hospital in his book 'Frank: Fighting Back' will talk about his experience as a black man using mental health services and his process of recovery.
Hari Sewell who advises on national policy around race and mental health is aiming to highlight that despite the continued evidence of higher rates of psychiatric admissions for minority ethnic groups and poorer experience, staff working in services can make a difference. In his book 'Working with Ethnicity Race and Culture in Mental Health', Hari points to various ways in which staff can invest in their relationships with black and minority ethnic service users as a means to improving the effectiveness of all the services they offer.
The conference includes some top names in mental health, including Melba Wilson OBE who leads the governments programme called Delivering Race Equality in Mental Health.
Hari said "Delegates will be delighted to have such a richly packed programme and Frank telling his story is a real bonus. Word is that this is a must-attend event"
Bruno said "They'll get the real deal from me about what I've been through and because of who I'll be talking with I'll be back using my phrase - know what I mean Hari?"
