- We recognise the important role that spiritual wellbeing plays for Muslim communities in achieving mental wellness – as a result, CMW will focus on creating more culturally-appropriate services and support to ensure this spiritual wellbeing is front-of mind
- It acknowledges the importance of Ummah, or ‘community’ – this is its driving force and will ensure that its services are appropriate to all Muslim communities regardless of background or origin and moves away from just considering the individual to looking at the community that surrounds them
- It is run by Muslims, for Muslims, and will therefore act as a bridge into communities which would otherwise not be open to providers of mental health and wellbeing services
- highlight our culturally responsive professionals
- give the community options to choose appropriate therapists
- facilitate a network of culturally responsive practitioners

On Saturday, November 10th, we had the pleasure of hosting an enriching workshop on mental health and Islam in North Melbourne in collaboration with @amssasistersconnect and led by Esma Kurt from @mindcareconsulting.
Esma delivered an insightful, thought-provoking session that dived deep into the intersection of psychology, mental health, and Islam. The workshop explored modern psychological concepts through a Western lens while drawing powerful connections to Islamic principles that have long emphasised mental and emotional well-being.
From understanding Islam's value on mental health to recognising its historic role in pioneering aspects of psychology, attendees were reminded of the profound harmony between faith and mental wellness. This workshop aimed to break down stigmas, encourage open dialogue, and empower participants with tools to support their mental health journeys in alignment with Islamic values.
