Talking About (Muslim) Mental Health

. Hina Javaid Shahid, Chair of the Muslim Doctor's Association, speaks about Muslim Mental Health, and the challenges that we face within our community on Friday 10th March at Dar's Grill in Willsden. 

Come for an evening to discuss this pressing issue within our community. Research suggests that 1 in 4 people will be touched by mental health issues at some stage or another, however we find it very difficult to talk about this often taboo topic. Dr Shahid will present an overview of the state of Muslim Mental health within the UK followed by a 2 course dinner, with an opportunity to network afterwards.
