The Kuumba Imani Millennium Centre’s community development team, L8 A Better Place is concerned that there seems to be a relatively high proportion of people who are active in the community who experience poor mental health.
This could be due to many reasons, such as:
- working or volunteering in the community where they live
- being an activist/volunteer in their spare time (and the additional “workload” this creates)
- putting pressure on themselves to support the community or develop community projects
- facing criticism or even anger from other community members.
- find out whether it is an issue
- see what experiences people have had
- find out what ideas they have to resolve the problem(s) and/or improve their mental health
- inform any future work L8 A Better Place delivers to support activists in the area.
