The Diya Counselling Service
Roshni has a strong commitment to breaking down barriers for South Asian women.
Diya is a new service we have started for young women/girls in the city aged 13-25. It is a counselling service that aims to empower young women to improve their mental health and wellbeing.
Issues we will be working with will include honour based violence, depression, anxiety, cross cultural identity issues, social and peer pressures and many more amongst others.
Advocacy Services
Roshni encourages Asian women to identify their own needs, make their own choices and create their own solutions.
Last year we advocated on behalf of 341 marginalised Asian women in the city. The majority of these women were unable to speak English fluently, had low confidence and self-esteem issues and often came with a background of domestic abuse and/or social isolation.
We supported them on a whole array of issues to help them stand back on their feet again and get on with their lives.
