THELMA MATILDA ALVES FOUNDATION

We provide training, workshops, events and resources designed to aid understanding of how mental health manifests in women of African/Caribbean descent and their experience of accessing mental healthcare services and to support the delivery of appropriate mental healthcare services for them. Also, we help women of African/Caribbean descent access mental health and wellbeing treatment.
