Last week I attended the first conference organised by a Luton charity, Our Mind Matters. I spoke on the challenges of supporting students of diverse cultures
and faiths as part of my role as the Mental Health Advisor here at the
University of Bedfordshire.
The charity focuses on promoting mental health and reducing stigma in the diverse communities of Luton. Their vision is:
“Faith and culture play a critical role in understanding mental health and in the recovery from mental illness”
Take a look at what they are doing in our local community.

Inspirited Minds
At a Conference last week on faith, culture and mental illness I came across a new organisation called Inspirited Minds.
They support people experiencing mental distress. They
work mostly with Muslim clients and use Muslim advisers. Details about the organisation are on the link below.
