Why we started this
Working in private practices, three therapists longed for a sense of belonging to their clinical community and religious affiliation. We recognized an emerging need for a platform that would unites Muslim mental health therapists with similar experiences, clinical trainings, ethical practices, and interest to deliver evidence-based interventions. In 2022, we formed our initial peer consultation group and found it incredibly meaningful and effective! In 2023, we decided to expand this initiative Canada wide.
What we aim to do
The Canadian Muslim Therapist Network aims to provide a platform to support clients through their therapeutic journey with an Islam-informed and Islam-integrated approaches. In an effort to de-stigmatize mental health in the Muslim community and unite Muslim therapists, we hope to create a centralized client and therapist referral system. As well, offer opportunities for collaboration, knowledge sharing, professional development and networking
