GOLD: City and Hackney PBP, NHS North East London, Hackney CVS, ELFT, London Borough of Hackney, Corporation of City of London: Tree Of Life

Our project focused on addressing inequalities experienced by African and Caribbean Heritage (ACH) students in accessing the right mental health support at the right time. Our partnership between the NHS, schools, and VCSEs adapted the Tree of Life model and pioneered its use in schools as an ACH-peer-led and ACH-focused approach embedded in the whole school system. Developed in Zimbabwe, the Tree of Life allows culture to be reframed as a strength. The high voluntary access rates and enthusiasm from students and the improvements in mental wellbeing demonstrate the value of providing peer-led, culturally-attuned support.
