She is currently writing up her PhD on Muslim men’s mental health. Jamilla is a former Board Trustee at the Muslim Youth Helpline and Chair of the Muslim Mental Health Alliance; a network of organisations aiming to collaborate on mental health in the sector, for which Inspirited Minds is a member. She is an Executive Board Member at the Muslim Council of Wales and is also Head of Community Engagement at SEF-Cymru, an education charity based in Wales.</p> <p>In this episode, we spoke about:</p> <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>Jamilla&#8217;s personal experience of anxiety and depression which she published in a book chapter on her lived experiences</li> <li>Her thoughts on the cost of living crisis, financial stress and how that links to mental health, specifically men&#8217;s mental health</li> <li>Her research on men&#8217;s mental health and how men are usually the providers within families, especially in Muslim households and so feel the impact of the cost of living crisis more so</li> <li>The taboo and stigma around men&#8217;s mental health</li> <li>&amp; so much more!</li> </ul> <p>You can connect with Jamilla on twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/jamillatweets?lang=en">@JamillaTweets</a> or instagram <a
