​The Institute for Muslim Mental Health Presents: Meet the Expert Webinar Series

​Reenvisioning Mental Health in Our Islamic Centers

​The presentation would discuss the blueprint of MY Mental Wellness being established in 2016 by the youth committee to its historic opening as a clinic in 2024. The conversation will include steps that other communities can take to encourage mental health initiatives from within Islamic centers and how masaajid can become centers of positive change and impact.
