Imams in Bradford are being offered training in a bid to tackle stigma around mental health.

The free course has been organised by Sharing Voices Bradford (SVB), which supports and works with minority communities in the city.

The aim of the training is to look at the specific mental health needs of the Muslim community and how to best respond to those needs.

The training, delivered by a qualified Muslim psychologist, will take place at Sharing Voices Bradford, 10 Mornington Villas, Manningham, on Saturday 26 January from 10.00am until 2.00 pm.

Those interested in taking part in the course are asked to get in touch at info@sharingvoices.org.uk or via 01274 731166.
