Zanab’s story is of economical / financial abuse

Zanab’s story is of economical / financial abuse. This type of abuse is designed to reinforce or create economic instability. In this way, it limits women’s choices and ability to access safety.

If you or someone you know is suffering from domestic abuse, please do reach out.

You can also come to our advice and support drop in sessions each Thursday 12:30-2:30pm. Mayfield House, 202a Cambridge Heath Road, E2 9LJ.

This week was the introductory session for our Men

This week was the introductory session for our Mental health and Well-being course. We had over 30 community members join us, where we explored how the 5-ways to well-being can help us with managing our mental health. The course starts in January and will involve activities such as cooking and learning more about how to manage your mental well-being.

@nhs_elft and @towerhamletsnow who led the session, also looked into the relationship between well-being and Islam which many of our members really enjoyed. If you are interested in this course please DM us or contact us on 07458307355.

This is just one of the many types of domestic abu

This is just one of the many types of domestic abuse that we will explore in the coming weeks. Amal’s story is an example of emotional abuse, which usually leaves the victim feeling unworthy, with low self-esteem, belittled and unwanted.

It is very important to identify these traits to end domestic abuse and keep ourselves and loved ones safe.

If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, please do reach out. We are here to help.

Thank you @cnn for taking the time to listen to our members’ view on pregnancy and #covid_19 vaccination.

When asked why they weren’t vaccinated, one member stated; “the vaccine was too new at the time and I was afraid that there would be complications with me or my unborn baby’s health. There also wasn’t any real life testimonies of people who were pregnant and had the vaccine.” @nhsbartshealth @nhs_elft
