SoCal Muslim Mental Health Collaborative

In light of the recent fires impacting Southern California, we, as mental health professionals within the Muslim community working with Shura Council, would like to extend our support to those who may be struggling with the emotional and psychological effects of this crisis. We recognize that experiencing natural disasters such as these can lead to significant stress, trauma, and grief. A group of Muslim mental health professionals is here to provide counseling services for individuals, families, and community members who need assistance during this challenging time. During this crisis we are offering 6-12 sessions of free therapy services.
