Somali Fathers: Stronger Today, Brighter Futures Tomorrow
Voices for SEND Support Network
Wellbeing Support for Somali Fathers & Male Carers of Children with SEND
A new mental health and wellbeing support project in South Ealing and Acton, funded by Public Health Ealing Council.
The Voices for SEND Support Network is delivering a new mental health and wellbeing support project for Somali fathers and male carers of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in South Ealing and Acton.
Our aim is to create a safe, welcoming and culturally sensitive space where fathers can talk openly, support one another and access help early.
What we offer
The project provides:
-
Café-based outreach sessions in South Ealing and Acton
-
Peer-led Somali fathers' support circles
-
Psychoeducation workshops in Somali and English
-
Culturally tailored information and resources, including leaflets, audio and video
-
Supported referrals to NHS and local mental health services where appropriate
"It is about real conversations, real support and real change."
Who can join?
The programme is particularly aimed at fathers experiencing stress, isolation or low wellbeing — especially those who are not currently accessing formal mental health services.
