Salam Jones speaks about his experience of depression and how minority mental men do not speak about depression and mental health. He speaks about depression during the lockdown in order to get people talking about mental health and to remove the taboo of speaking up on the issue. He also feels that ethnic minority men do not speak about mental health because it's not a manly thing to do. BritBanglaCovid has been campaigning on health related issues during the pandemic because we have noticed how minority communities have been significantly impacted by Covid-19 for so many reasons. Here is an opportunity to raise awareness of mental health issues among ethnic minority communities during and after the lifting of the national lockdown.
BritBanglaCovid is a platform that shares real-life experiences of British Bangladeshis prior to and during the pandemic. It shares their circumstances from their perspective for public benefit and tries to bring about positive health outcomes for the benefit of this and other minority communities through shared experience. BritBanglaCovid is also a forum through which minority community representatives discuss issues that affect them in times of health crisis.
