- 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

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)!

Last Wednesday evening, facilitator Husna Pasha delivered an insightful session on Mental Health Awareness to the ICMG Craigieburn ladies’ Tafsir class. During the workshop, she addressed critical topics, including anxiety, depression, and substance use, while shedding light on the stigmas and societal judgments that often surround these issues within the community. Her discussion emphasised the importance of understanding and compassion in tackling mental health challenges.
We thank @husna_pasha and @icmgwomensaustralia for hosting such a vital and impactful workshop, facilitating much-needed conversations about mental health and well-being.
