This workshop seeks to provide a safe space for third sector organisations providing mental health support within Muslim communities to discuss how they are impacted by and address national challenges. We will specifically explore this within the context of the recent UK riots and in light of research which provides some insight into what might be happening at the grassroots.
Attendees will be invited to share their own experiences as representatives of their organisations, including a call for best practice examples. Together we will consider how such challenges can be navigated and how we can collectively move forward within our services and beyond.
Please note: Open to organisations outside of MMC members. All workshops will be audio recorded by MMC and used to inform our knowledge of how services are navigating these challenges. Some of these findings will be made available on our platforms however no organisation or individual will be named unless they grant permission to have their identity revealed within public facing materials.
