MHFA England has launched guidance, with the Chartered Management Institute and Business in the Community, to support the mental health and wellbeing of People of Colour and Black people in the workplace. The advice is divided into three sections: (1) Supporting the wellbeing of People of Colour and Black colleagues; (2)  Understanding racism and its impact; and (3)  Becoming an anti-racist workplace. The guide emphasises that at an organisational level, employers must make a public commitment to being anti-racist and follow through with concrete actions for change. This may include a review of policies and protocols through an anti-racist lens, understanding the diversity of the diversity of the workforce at all levels and taking action to address lack of representation where necessary and providing high quality learning and development opportunities on race, racism, being anti-racist and an ally, White privilege, language, microaggressions, and racial gaslighting.
