Jamila’s Legacy is a non-profit organisation that offers advice, advocacy, support, a listening service, self-care activities and training to individuals interested in maintaining their own mental health well-being and supporting others.
Jamila’s Legacy has been bringing people together to increase mental health awareness and deepen understanding since 2015. We have been working at a community and grassroots level, engaging with ethnic minority communities, and have developed an understanding of their needs, barriers and challenges.
We know that stigma and shame around mental health still exists and in some ethnic minority communities there can be additional barriers and challenges to opening up or seeking help due to family and community expectations and or some cultural norms and beliefs.
