Today's Edition | Exploring the Intersection of Islam, Mental Health, and Personal Choice

Joining Arzu Jaeed is Dr. Nazila Isgandarova, a scholar, psychotherapist, social worker, practicum director of the Supervised Psycho-Spiritual Education (SPE), Assistant Professor, University of Toronto, and a community leader.

Our discussion today will navigate from the reinterpretation of the Quran to mental health stigma, the traumatic experiences of women and transitional justice.

Some of the topics discussed:

How can we combat mental health stigma within Azerbaijani families and promote open dialogue?

In the face of dismissal, how do we remain steadfast in sharing our refugee experiences without inciting hate?

How do you navigate the delicate narratives of rape survivors in conflict zones like Khojaly, ensuring they receive adequate support and healing?

Can you discuss the reinterpretation of Quranic verses on domestic violence and the ongoing fight for women's rights?

How can you be part of this impactful mission?
