This is the beginning of a nationwide movement. Join Somali professionals, NHS allies, community activists, and change-makers as we launch a new chapter in mental health shaped by lived experience, clinical intelligence, cultural wisdom, and collective power.


🗓 What to expect:

🔑 A detailed overview on our projects, and year work to come

💬 Workshops led by NHS professionals and Community Leaders. Reflect, respond and influence what comes next.

💬 Key note speeches by the Lord Mayor, Grassroots Activists, lived experience voices from under-resourced communities ready to share their views on this movement.

🎭 Poetry, personal stories, and community reflection on healing and identity

🧠 A space for professionals who felt isolated in their work - youre not alone anymore!

🧵 Network with purpose - meet others with a shared mission

Refreshments, Lunch, connection spaces & powerful networking moments

This is a safe and uplifting space for professionals, parents, young people, students, elders, and allies. Together, we are building a home for Somali mental health rooted in dignity, leadership, and long-overdue representation.
