Somali Mental Wellness Focus group: Black Thrive

We’re inviting Somali residents of Southwark aged 18+ to come along to discuss what improvements the NHS can bring to the mental health and mental well-being of the Somali community living in Southwark.

Who are we: South London and Maudsley Hospital and Black Thrive, the two organisations leading this project, are seeking to find out from Somali residents themselves, what their needs are as a community in relation to their mental health. What support does the community need; what issues largely impact upon Somali residents’ mental health in Southwark? How can we better promote mental health services to the community? What things would you like to see from the NHS in support of mental wellness for the Somali community? These are some of the questions we will be focusing on.

During the focus group meeting, there will be Hallal food and beverages available for participants and these questions will be discussed in more detail.

For your time attending, we are offering supermarket food vouchers of £25.

If you have any questions or enquiries, please contact Jadi-Ann at: Jadi-ann.bent@blackthrive.org

We encourage you to register today to have your voices heard and to come together with likeminded individuals to work towards bettering your community.
