I became quite ill about 1987. I was quite young and couldn’t express myself and just went with the flow. I was very young and probably needed some form of gentle counselling. I believe black people tend to keep things to themselves which can manifest its self later on, which happened to me. I think it is also viewed as a big shame. Especially back in the 1980s and 90s.
I'm glad things are changing and there are more people in the mental health team that looks like me, a black menopausal woman.
A bit more greenery would also be welcomed in your assessment rooms.
I also don't like your entrance to the Highbury site. With bollards up and a fleshing orange signs for a lockdown to the site and a sign saying that the nearest hospital is Queen Medical Centre, which is at lest 6 to 7 miles away.
