The impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of children from BAME backgrounds

This webinar will explore the experiences of children and young people from BAME backgrounds during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants will have a valuable opportunity to listen and engage with leading mental health and education experts on how race inequalities in education and poverty interplay with mental health inequalities for these young people.

• Review and increase understanding of the existing evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of BAME young people
• Explore the inequalities faced by young people in schools and mental health services
• Appreciate the powerful potential for alliances between mental health professionals and educational specialists when addressing social determinants of health and illness
