‍
Join us for a meaningful and much-needed community conversation on mental and emotional well-being. This gathering brings together trusted scholars and mental health professionals to offer clarity, compassion, and practical guidance on navigating mental health challenges with dignity, faith, and wisdom.
In this workshop, we will explore:

‍
✧ Mental Health 101: What It Is and Why It Matters
An overview of what mental health truly is, common misconceptions, and how emotional and psychological well-being impacts our spiritual lives, relationships, and overall functioning.
✧ The Islamic Perspective on Mental Health
Grounding the conversation in Qur’anic guidance, Prophetic wisdom, and a holistic understanding of the human soul, reminding us that caring for mental health is an essential part of nurturing īmān and fulfilling our trust with Allāh.
✧ Five Evidence-Based and Faith-Aligned Practices for Mental Wellness
Practical tools supported by modern research and rooted in Islamic values that help cultivate mental wellness.
✧ Addressing Shame, Stigma, and Silence
An honest and compassionate discussion on breaking harmful narratives around mental health, supporting one another with mercy, and fostering a community where seeking help is seen as strength, not weakness. This session will also include guidance on available resources and avenues for support.
Together, we hope to create a safe and supportive space for learning, reflection, and meaningful dialogue. Come as you are, with your questions, experiences, and hopes, and join us.
