GFH unit picks UK group to run Bahrain wellbeing centre
MANAMA, May 30, 2024
Nuwah Foundation (Nuwah), a part of Bahrain’s GFH Financial Group, has signed an agreement with the United Kingdom’s acclaimed The Revoke Programme, to operate its newly-launched Nafas Well-being and Rehabilitation Centre in Al Areen, Bahrain.
This collaborative effort builds on Nuwah Foundation's commitment to reshaping the landscape of health and well-being in the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region.
The strategic partnership inked under the guidance of Shaikha Hala bint Mohammed Al Khalifa, CEO of Nuwah Foundation, and Michael Ishmail, CEO & Founder of The Revoke Programme, will see the development of a holistic array of services at the rehab centre, thus bridging expertise and unity of purpose between the two organisations.
The partnership with one of UK’s leading mental health organisations aims to introduce a paradigm shift in addressing mental health, emotional well-being, and addiction treatment, with a concerted focus on personal and societal transformation.
Shaikha Hala said: "The Middle East and North Africa region is at the cusp of a new era in mental health and wellness. Everyone has the right to live a fulfilling and independent life and this mindset is reflected in the Nafas Well-being and Rehabilitation Centres’ goals, which include promoting independence and self-sufficiency, enhancing quality of life, and promoting community integration."
"The Revoke Programme will help us deliver an intensive behavioural health and mental health treatment programme on an outpatient basis and offer therapeutic and peer support to help our clients in their own path to wellness and recovery," she noted.
Ishmail said the collaboration with Nuwah Foundation and Nafas Well-being and Rehabilitation Centre is a significant step towards addressing the often-unspoken needs of mental and emotional health.
"We look forward to bringing our expertise in mental health treatments, eating disorder treatment, trauma and other specialized treatment plans to Bahrain, inspired by the forward-thinking leadership of Shaikha Hala and the innovative spirit of the Mena region," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
