A briefing by the Centre for Mental Health and King’s College London finds that racism has far-reaching impacts on parents, their children, and the relationships between them. Based on research with both parents and teenagers from UK racialised communities, it finds that both past and present experiences of racism can affect mental health across generations of a family. The briefing calls on the government to commit to tackling all forms of racism through a cross-government strategy. It also says that the Department for Health and Social Care and NHS England should fully resource work with racialised communities to design more racially equitable mental health support.
