Ramzia from Paiwand did a training session about refugee and migrant mental health with Barnet Talking Therapy on 23rd January. We strive to raise awareness about the obstacles faced by Afghan asylum seekers as well as how therapy can be provided in a culturally-sensitive way.
Waking up in Marrakesh means the sunshine, the call for prayer, so different! It's a journey not just through a city but through the essence of freedom and exploration.
Movement, a simple act that can transform moods and broaden horizons, remains a luxury for some, not for all.
The issue of Afghan women has become a political tool for opportunists.
Afghan men can play a significant role. Simple changes such as their presence at women's rights gatherings, alongside their wives, sisters, and daughters, can bring about a major cultural shift.
Last year, I presented at the 42nd Annual Bereavement Care Conference on the ongoing grief experienced by the Afghan diaspora. One of the underlying causes is their constant mental reliving of the war and its associated atrocities. Social media ensures our wounds never heal!

Paiwand's achievements in 2023:
Collaboration with the Qualitative Applied Health Research Centre at King's College, the Afghan Academy and the Afghan Association of Healthcare Professionals to produce a guide for mental health professionals working with the UK Afghans.
Live on Space, speaking about Girls' Education.
The session tries to avoid political elements behind the Taliban's decision.Seems we are hiding our heads under the sand. Banning girls & increasing religious Madrasas are directly linked to global politics and their dirty games!
Paiwand has become a Duke of Edinburgh (DofE) license holder. With this license, we are both excited and eager to provide DofE programs that aim to empower young people.
Thank you to one of our staff members for taking the time to learn about the DofE roles and responsibilities.
We are so glad to hear that our Immigration Services team was able to help this client with their case, which included receiving refugee status.
We strive to continue providing free services that are clear, fast and uplifting.

Dear friends of Paiwand
I have been invited to deliver a speech at the above conference.
It is time we expose and redirect the role of the communities in shaping and empowering political movements that will be held accountable for their actions.
Today, the global Afghan diaspora community remembers the fall of Kabul two years ago.
The harsh impact and the fleeing of thousands of Afghans who reached safety worldwide was unimaginable at the time...
