Leeds University mental health survey

My name is Roshni and I am currently studying Masters in Psychology at Leeds Trinity University, looking at the attitudes of Indians towards mental health services. 

As part of my thesis, I am asking Indian Britons (irrespective of gender or religion) to fill out a quick questionnaire on their attitudes toward mental health services. I have translated the survey into Hindi too. I have worked very, very hard with the help of doctors, psychiatrists, and professionals to translate the various surveys. Please could I ask you to complete the survey and then request that you pass it on to at least three friends who are of Indian descent? I need at least 350 people to gain meaningful data. The survey is open and will close on 10th September. 

It would be very much appreciated if you could promote this study through your website and social media accounts (such as Facebook and Twitter) as well as in the building itself. 

The survey is available in English and Hindi.

Connecting during Covid

Hello community members,  

I hope this email finds you all in good health.  

Recently we have been speaking to Queen Mary University of London who are working on a project that tries to understand how diverse communities are getting on with life, and how people are connecting during Covid-19. They are focusing on people in the Brazilian, Somali and Indian community examining people’s changing experiences of life in the UK.  They are looking at if/how any remittance and care activities link people with their contacts ‘back home’; and whether this has changed during the pandemic.  

This research aims to identify key challenges facing Indian communities during the Covid-19 pandemic, to raise awareness and advise policy makers and institutions on responses that meet the needs of our communities.  

It is a great way for us to be involved and help raise awareness on the key issues facing our community members. So, I would like to share with you their online questionnaire: [SURVEY IS CLOSED]. I would urge you to complete it with honest answers and share it with your networks. Please note everything is confidential, and your response will be helpful for understanding Indian communities and building our voice. 

This is an online questionnaire in English – if you would like to complete it in another language (e.g. Hindi, Gujarati or Gurmukhi)  [NOTE SURVEY IS CLOSED]

Your help is most appreciated.
