| Zindaagi, meaning life, is aimed at promoting positive mental health and
well-being of Asian women. Zindaagi is targeted at supporting Asian women who express their pain through self-harm and attempted suicide.
The principle of Zindaagi considers that integrating mental, physical and emotional health is central to holistic approach to healing and expression. Based upon the findings of a multi-agency research pioneered by NAWP,
Zindaagi was established to promote community education and awareness, mitigating taboos and stigma associated with self-harming behaviour.
Zindaagi liaises with mainstream mental health care providers to ensure that genuine access is afforded to Asian women experiencing mental distress and that appropriate interventions are developed to understand and meet their
needs.
