Talking from the heart

How can the films help?

Your doctor may call your symptoms ‘depression’ or ‘anxiety’. It is important to know that you are not alone – support is available and can help improve how you feel. 

Maslaha has worked in partnership with doctors from AT Medics, specialist counsellors, therapists, Islamic scholars and imams to develop these short films in Somali, Urdu and Bengali/Sylheti. 

The films will help you to: 
  • See what happens during a talking therapy session (in Somali only: 'Finding out about therapy')
  • Listen to what the Qur’an has to say about keeping healthy, including mind, body and soul
  • Learn more about what is meant by 'depression,' 'anxiety' and what support is available, including therapy
  • Deal with some of the common concerns many people have about seeking support, such as: 'I don't need help, and can deal with everything myself,' or 'I will bring shame to my family and community.'
If you want to find a support service near where you live in London, have a look at the Links page. 


Note for practitioners/community organisations: We have all films available on one DVD for use with clients, for training purposes or for community events. For further details and for costs (varies, depending on type of organisation and number required), please send us a message through the Contact page.
