- 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

New Beginnings is proud and honoured to deliver a ground-breaking initiative:
"Recover, Rebuild & Flourish - Melbourne" – a culturally safe, faith-based support program for Muslims, the first of its kind in Australia, and one of the very few globally.
We are honoured to be partnering with Centre for Muslim Wellbeing and National Zakat Foundation to bring you a unique program, developed through consultation with the community who have experienced separation and divorce, alongside insights from lawyers, community leaders, and religious scholars. It offers practical, lived-experience support rooted in Islamic values.
What You’ll Experience:
Peer-led support in a confidential, judgment-free space.
Islamic guidance on divorce, custody, and healing.
Expert-led sessions on emotional and financial recovery.
Powerful therapeutic and physical sessions designed to support both mind and body.
A safe space for growth, clarity, and connection.
Dates: Sunday 26 April – 31 May (six sessions in total)
Time: 10am–1.30pm
Location: East Coburg Neighbourhood House
Spots are strictly limited
Cost: AUD 70 per participant for the entire program
To register: Please scan QR code
*This is not group therapy. It’s a safe and faith-conscious space for sisters to recover, rebuild, and flourish, together. General information and practical tools are offered to provide clarity and comfort.

Over the weekend we held Together We Rock
With facilitator @husna_pasha, we created a warm and welcoming Art & Chai space for carers — a gentle pause just for them. While their loved ones enjoyed an active, joy-filled session in the gym, carers were able to take a moment to breathe, connect and recharge.
Over cups of chai and guided art therapy with @noha_aly_in_australia, the room was filled with quiet reflection, creativity and meaningful conversation.
Because caring for others begins with caring for yourself.
