Spring Impact Webinar
When Nafisa Jiddawi, Founder and CEO, started WAJAMAMA in 2018, she wanted every woman in Zanzibar to have access to safe and dignified maternal care; one that treats mental health as seriously as physical health. A few years later, they’ve made a pivotal shift: instead of delivering care directly, they’re embedding their model into government-run facilities, training the Ministry of Health’s own nurse-midwives and community health workers to carry it forward instead. Join Nafisa and Spring Impact’s CEO, Emma Colenbrander, for a conversation about the decisions that shaped the journey to scaling through government: - What worked, and what didn’t - The toughest calls, and how to overcome them - The lessons that only become clear in hindsight.

Nafisa Jiddawi is a social impact leader with over 16 years of experience in women's, maternal, and child health, patient advocacy, and community development across Zanzibar and the United States.

Traumatic experiences leave their imprint on the body as well as the mind. Dr Bessel van der Kolk offers a new paradigm for healing. The helplessness and invisibility associated with trauma need not be inevitable.

Drawn from more than thirty years at the forefront of research and clinical practice, Dr Bessel van der Kolk’s global bestseller The Body Keeps The Score showed us that the terror and isolation at the core of trauma literally reshape both brain and body – and demonstrated a new approach to recovery, moving away from standard talking and drug therapies to heal mind, brain and body. Fusing insights from the cutting-edge of neuroscience with the weight of decades of experience as an active therapist, Dr van der Kolk will reveal the power of our relationships – whether in the intimacy of the home or in our wider communities – to both hurt and heal.

Join us to discover how both adults and children can reclaim ownership of their bodies and their lives.

Together, we will explore how a connected behavioural science community can strengthen practice, shape better public services and improve health and wellbeing fairly and effectively.

This is more than a day of sharing learning. It is an opportunity to meet people working across the behavioural science system, exchange ideas, build lasting connections and find practical inspiration for your own work. Whether your focus is research, policy, public health, service design, education or applied behaviour change, there will be something for you.
