Supporting the mental and emotional health of
Muslim heritage children

What we do

​

- development of child mental health support in partnership with local Muslim communities

​

- consultation with mainstream services to make them more accessible

​

- training for therapists and others working with children

​

Why we do it

​

- Muslim heritage children and teenagers face particular barriers to getting help

- fear of assumptions and prejudice from mainstream services

- impact of the pandemic: more children and young people seeking support

​

- demand for faith-sensitive therapy yet gap in provision for children

​

How we do it

We work with the public sector, charities and Muslim community organisations to develop services
