16 | Muslims and Mental Health: Breaking the Stigma Between Us
-
- Islã
Join Poonam (founder of @virtuementalorg and I) as we talk everything mental health. We talk about why mental health is important in Islam and the emphasis upon it in the Quran and Seerah, where the stigma against mental health came from, resources and coping mechanisms for those having a tough time with mental health, what to do if you think your friend is struggling, the importance of having an Islamically-centered therapist, how the Muslim community can break the stigma, and the danger of sweeping conversations around suicide under the rug.
