The Caribbean and African Mental Health Services
(ACMHS) is a voluntary charitable organization 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-centered counseling, CBT therapies, advocacy, and health and well-being groups. To support the Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) who fund the organization 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.: sports, music, art, women, men, life skills, and socializing. 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 counseling. ACMHS also provides placement opportunities for social workers, occupational therapists, counselors, and nurses and training in race and mental health, cultural awareness, and mental well-being.

We offer a range of individual therapeutic support, learning opportunities, groups, and creative activities for young people, encouraging you to find your voice, develop new skills, have fun, and demonstrate that you can manage your mental health and well-being to achieve your full potential.
