About this Event
Join Us for the 'Deeper Representation' Community Research Presentation & Celebration!
Join us to hear powerful insights from Diverse Ethnic Research Alliance (DERA) Community Representatives across Gloucestershire as they share findings from their Deeper Representation project. This event explores lived experiences of people from diverse ethnic communities, who are seldom heard, exploring how mental health and wellbeing support is accessed and received. Snacks and refreshments will be available on arrival, as we invite, and celebrate, the diverse communities of Gloucestershire.

• What changes are needed to improve representation, reduce barriers, and build more culturally responsive support services
