CHINESE MENTAL HEALTH ASSOCIATION

The Chinese Mental Health Association is a voluntary organisation and registered charity set up to help Chinese people who are sufferers of mental illness. The association aims to promote mental health education in the Chinese community and to raise awareness amongst the mainstream healthcare providers regarding Chinese mental health issues. The association aims to improve the quality of life amongst Chinese mental health sufferers and their carers by the following.

• Helping them access services which are already provided through statutory and voluntary organisations.
• Provision of Chinese services run by Chinese workers specifically for mental health issues.
• Provision of mental health advice and information in Cantonese.
• Referrals to mental health agencies.
• Cantonese speaking counselling service (charge made for this service).
• Mental health assessment in Cantonese (charge made for this service; London residents only).

The association publishes a book: 'The Chinese Mental Health Book' written by a number of health and care professionals on perspectives in delivering health care service to Chinese clients and on promoting and raising awareness of issues affecting Chinese mental health service users.
