Mosaics of Meaning Handbook: a guide for health improvement practitioners to tackle stigma of mental health with BME communities

Mosaics of Meaning was launched in 2005 to research and address
the stigma associated with mental health problems in partnership
with Scotland’s largest black and ethnic minority communities. Its
unique programme of research and community action has involved
training community workers in research skills and mental health
issues, and using community development principles to address
stigma and raise awareness at ground level. In the process, a
powerful, evidence-based model of community engagement has
been developed, a model which can be confidently applied in many
other community settings.
