The Lantern Initiative is a Muslim-run grassroots Community Interest Company currently based across Peterborough and Leicester. Our objectives are to educate and raise awareness of mental health issues in the Muslim community, to help break down the associated stigma and to empower communities in seeking and accessing relevant support with their mental health and wellbeing. We run a number of ongoing community mental health projects including Chai & Chat drop in sessions for women, tailor-made perinatal mental health support services and free online counselling for Muslim residents living in Peterborough.
