Theme: Building Resilience Through Resistance and Collective Care
This conference will delve into the powerful ways in which social-political, psychological, and/or cultural resistance and collective care intersect to cultivate resilience within Muslim communities.
Amidst the various challenges faced by Muslim communities locally and globally, the concepts of resistance and collective care have become vital pathways to resilience. This year's theme focuses on how these practices—whether through acts of disruption against systemic injustices or through nurturing community bonds—fortify the mental health and well-being of Muslim individuals and communities.
Who should attend?
Mental Health practitioners, religious leaders, faculty, graduate students, and community organizers and members.
