Supporting the social and emotional well-being of BAME communities and individuals in Cardiff.
ISSA Wales exists to serve the local BAME community by offering free support services such as counselling, befriending, advocacy and mediation. We use a culturally and religiously sensitive approach appropriate to the individual client's needs, thereby ensuring the most successful outcome long term.
Why the community needs usOur free services help our clients to take an active role in improving their social and mental well-being. We offer group and individually based support as needed to improve the lives of service users and their families. We are active promoters of mental health awareness and are constantly looking for ways to engage the Cardiff community in discussions about health and well-being to the benefit of all. Advocacy helps families and individuals by supporting engagement with other organisations.
Our impact on the communityWe need confident, outgoing volunteers who can serve as befrienders to clients. We also need enthusiastic, flexible individuals who can help with running small fundraisers and planning bigger ones!
