Slide How CMW makes a difference

  • 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

Slide Our Services CMW’s services have been conceived and designed by the Muslim community, to respond to needs identified within that community. They seek to build understanding and capacity within community, as well as support key stakeholders serving the community to improve access, inclusion and delivery. The principle underpinning all of CMW’s services is about being respectful and inclusive of the broad range of backgrounds, cultural and religious identities of the Muslim community within Australia. Slide Publications and Advocacy Based on research findings and a growing evidence base of what contributes to wellbeing in Muslim communities, CMW will advocate to local, state and federal government for more inclusive policies and greater investment in Muslim Mental health and wellbeing. Slide Professionals List A vibrant network of health professionals that have experience dealing with CALD communities made available to the public to:

  • highlight our culturally responsive professionals

  • give the community options to choose appropriate therapists⁠

  • facilitate a network of culturally responsive practitioners

 Slide Support and Resources Our library of resources, videos and tools created by CMW and other useful links exploring wellbeing, mental ill health, Islam and mental health, spiritual tools and much more

We had a meaningful session with East African women from the Arabic-speaking community in Truganina, using art to support emotional healing and expression. Participants explored their creativity, shared stories, and connected in a warm, supportive space.

Art therapy is a powerful tool that helps with:
⁠• Emotional Expression – Articulating complicated feelings.
⁠• Stress Reduction – Promoting relaxation.
⁠• Self-Discovery – Gaining insight and self-understanding.
⁠• Coping Skills – Developing strategies for trauma and grief.
⁠• Social Skills – Enhancing communication in group settings.
⁠• Self-Esteem – Building confidence through creative achievements.
⁠• Mental Health Support – Managing depression, PTSD, and anxiety.

Thank you to our attendees and facilitator for making this a healing experience. Stay tuned for more wellness programs with the Centre for Muslim Wellbeing (CMW)! ... See MoreSee Less
