Yesterday, we had the pleasure of attending the Mind Iftar in collaboration with Islamic Relief UK a truly meaningful evening that highlighted the urgent mental health challenges faced by minorities and Muslim communities. The discussions reinforced the importance of culturally and faith-sensitive approaches to mental health care. For many, accessing the right support can be complex, and it’s crucial that therapy is tailored to respect cultural and religious identities. A huge appreciation to Mind for their continued efforts in working closely with communities to bridge these gaps. Collaborative initiatives like this are key to breaking stigma, fostering understanding, and ensuring that mental health support is both accessible and effective for all. MSA are proud of our partnership with Mind to provide accessible Positive Minds sessions to our community. Thank you to Samir Sawhney and Sam Perks for the kind invitation. #MentalHealth #FaithAndWellbeing #CommunitySupport Muslim Mind Collaborative
