Event Review - Understanding Mental Health

Bayyina Foundation arranged a public talk for ladies at Masjid-e-Noor (Saunders Rd, Blackburn) on 3rd March to discuss the subject of mental health.

The unique event brought together a team of qualified doctors from the NHS mental health services EIS (Early Intervention Service) and CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services), and a community worker who discussed the topic from an Islamic perspective. Alhamdulillah, the event was a great success, with approx 30 people packed into the small venue for the morning. It was great to see the masjid used for a real community event outside of the normal prayers, madrassah schooling etc.
