May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and the Belongg Mental Health Collective is using this time to amplify the importance of mental health issues at the intersection of identity. To wrap up this month, we are planning a day-long “Inclusive Mental Health Festival” on the 30th of May, which will bring together sessions across a range of formats – panel discussions, film screening/ book reading, workshops, and the launch of initial findings from our ongoing identity and mental health survey – bringing increased awareness around the need to render customised mental health services to people from various identities. Several prominent mental health organisations and researchers focused on inclusion are partnering with us for this.
