Women with enduring mental health problems often find their difficulties impact on all aspects of their daily lives.

A programme of advocacy, referral, group therapy and parenting classes helps the women with practical issues and refers those in need to specialised mental health services. MORE ⇒
Domestic violence is unfortunately highly prevalent in the Arabic-speaking community and is often considered to be an acceptable phenomenon. Domestic violence is deeply destructive, damaging self-esteem and destroying families. Our centre provides one-to-one support for women suffering any kind of physical or emotional abuse and helps these women to access the legal, welfare and therapeutic services which can help them.

Elderly Arabic-speaking women and men are faced with many challenges as they try to manage their daily lives and take care of their own needs. Language barriers and cultural differences can lead to debilitating isolation and make it much more difficult to access health services and welfare benefits. Our centre provides advice, advocacy, signposting and referral to other services, alongside more general support for those who are particularly vulnerable. MORE ⇒
PROJECTS
Academic research on Moroccan migration to Britain has to date predominantly looked at the experiences of male migrants. Very little has been said about the women migrant workers who came here in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. .The Dardasha project sought to redress the balance, by documenting the moving testimonies of these women who found the strength and courage they needed to make a new life for themselves and provide a future for their families.
