BUSHRA ANWAR

MSC PSYCHOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE, KINGS COLLEGE LONDON

My interest in psychology developed at the intersection of my experience as a journalist and teacher, where working with individuals and on wider civil issues motivated me to understand the key determinants in personal and social development. My current work is in mental health strategy, formulating social initiatives to support and encourage behavioural change across communities in mental health and wellbeing, social inclusion and preventing violent crime. With this scholarship, I aim to develop transformative leadership and development in communities and improve representation in statutory and non-statutory sectors, implementing ground up initiatives for effective mental health inclusion and provision.
