The Caribbean and African Mental Health Services

 

(ACMHS) is a voluntary charitable organisation that was formed in October 1989 to provide support to African and African Caribbean people with mental health problems aged 16 and over and registered with a Manchester GP. The Mental Health Team works with people who have common mental health problems i.e.: depression, anxiety, relationship problems and low self-esteem by offering advice, CBT and person-centred counselling, CBT therapies, advocacy, health and well-being groups. In order to support the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) who fund the organisation towards Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT), ACMHS now provides a wide choice of psychological therapies based on Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT).  ACMHS also provides drop-in services i.e.: sport, music, art, women, men, life skills and socialising. In addition we have a carers group, which gives practical and emotional support to individuals who are caring for someone who suffers from mental ill health.  Volunteering opportunities are also available in fundraising, befriending, hospital support, drop-in facilitators and counselling.  ACMHS also provides placement opportunities for social workers, occupational therapists, counsellors, nurses and training in race and mental health, cultural awareness and mental well-being.
