Today on AfriWoman Chats, Tchiyiwe Thandiwe Chihana is in conversation with Salma Mohamed MSc MBACP, Integrative Psychotherapist and founder of the Somali Mental Health Network.

Her work sits where clinical practice meets community reality. It asks a simple but often avoided question: what does care look like when systems do not fully understand the people they serve?

They will explore how culture, identity, and lived experience shape mental health support, and why community-led approaches are not optional but necessary.

This is a live broadcast on African Voices Platform - AVP Radio, carried on DAB across South Yorkshire and online for wider audiences.

Thursday 9 April, 4PM
