What is ADIRA?
ADIRA, which comes from the Hebrew word meaning ‘strong, dignified and powerful’, works in the following ways:
providing black people (of all ages – men, women and children) who have experienced, or who are currently experiencing, mental health issues with a safe, friendly, culturally-sensitive meeting space, education and training, information and advice, and social & leisure activities.
engaging with young black people, to maximise their potential and nurture increased aspirations whilst improving resilience.
organising events to raise awareness of issues affecting the black community.
Ursula founded ADIRA in 2012. To find out what we’re doing now, have a look at the What’s On page.
