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.'
Note for practitioners/community organisations: We have all films available on one DVD for use with clients, for training purposes or for community events.
