What is the ISNA Mental Health Initiative?

The ISNA Mental Health Initiative is dedicated to promoting wellness, resilience, and mental health within Muslim communities. We develop faith-informed educational content and resources while also recognizing and amplifying the excellent work already being done by Muslim scholars, clinicians, organizations, community leaders, and individuals with lived experience. Through both original content and curated resources, we aim to help individuals learn, grow, and connect with trusted information and support.

This initiative is for anyone interested in Muslim well-being and mental health, including individuals, families, community members, educators, religious leaders, healthcare providers, and those seeking support for themselves or a loved one.

No. This website is intended for education, resource sharing, and connection to support. We do not provide therapy, counseling, crisis services, or medical care through the website.

We have designed our “Find Help” page to help guide you to find potential directories of therapists, specialized services, organizations, and crises lines. If you are currently experiencing an emergency or crisis please contact 988 and/or local emergency services.

For 63 years, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) has served and supported Muslim communities across North America. Recognizing that healthy families are the foundation of strong communities, ISNA has long been committed to supporting the emotional, mental, and social well-being of our community.In the 1990s, ISNA’s Mental Health Committee provided support and resources addressing family well-being, mental health, and domestic violence. Building on this important legacy, ISNA is renewing and expanding its commitment through ISNA Mental Health Initiative, an initiative dedicated to promoting mental wellness, resilience, and healthy relationships within Muslim communities.Through this initiative, ISNA will develop and share faith-informed educational resources, practical tools, and trusted information that address the mental health needs of individuals and families. Our work will build upon the valuable contributions of Muslim scholars, mental health professionals, community organizations, leaders, advocates, and individuals with lived experience.Our goal is to create accessible, culturally relevant, and faith-informed resources that empower people to understand mental health better, seek support when needed, strengthen their relationships, and build greater resilience.Together, we can foster healthier individuals, stronger families, and more caring and resilient Muslim communities.

Are the resources only for people experiencing mental health problems?

No. We believe that mental health begins with wellness and prevention. Many of our resources focus on promoting well-being, strengthening resilience, supporting families and communities, and helping individuals thrive throughout life.

We develop some resources directly and also highlight trusted materials created by Muslim scholars, clinicians, organizations, community leaders, and individuals with lived experience. We strive to share resources that are relevant, practical, and informed by both professional expertise and community knowledge.
