Recovery, Mental Health and Inequality: Chinese Ethnic Minorities as Mental Health Service Users - Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness
Tang, Lynn (The Hong Kong Jockey Club Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention, The University of Hong Kong)
Mental health has long been perceived as a taboo subject in the UK, so much so that mental health services have been marginalised within health and social care. There is even more serious neglect of the specific issues faced by different ethnic minorities.
This book uses the rich narratives of the recovery journeys of Chinese mental health service users in the UK ? a perceived ?hard-to-reach group? and largely invisible in mental health literature ? to illustrate the myriad ways that social inequalities such as class, ethnicity and gender contribute to service users' distress and mental ill-health, as well as shape their subsequent recovery journeys.
Recovery, Mental Health and Inequality contributes to the debate about the implementation of ?recovery approach? in mental health services and demonstrates the importance of tackling structural inequalities in facilitating meaningful recovery. This timely book would benefit practitioners and students in various fields, such as nurses, social workers and mental health postgraduate trainees.
