Stigma and discrimination undermine equitable and culturally appropriate mental health services
Conclusion
Experiences of stigma, discrimination, and lack of culturally appropriate or personalised support were frequently reported, particularly by racialised communities, neurodivergent individuals, and those with disabilities. 74 Where care was described as high-quality, it was inclusive, responsive, and tailored to individual needs. Equity must be integral to the delivery of high- quality community mental health services. (Conclusion, Paragraph 55)
