About this provider

WAC offers both therapeutic & social care to ladies who are 50 plus years. We provide a wide range of services and a high standard of care, but also encourage service users to maintain a healthy and independent living.

We offer appropriate and culturally sensitive services designed to meet identified needs.

Key Focus at WAC
At WAC we are working towards moving/shifting away from the fixed psychology created in South Asian communities.

Focus on Mental Health

• Mental health problems are not shameful.
• Encourage discussions on mental health issues which are otherwise ignored.

• Mental health problems can affect everyone, including your family.
• 1 in 4 people will be affected by mental health issues during their life time.
• Mental health issues can affect people independent of creed, colour, gender or status.
• Increase open discussions about mental health problems. Mental illness is a taboo subject in South Asian communities, resulting in a lack of awareness and knowledge.
• Continually working towards delivering important key facts on mental illness.
