Public Consultation for Religious OCD

Our research has shown a massive issue surrounding Religious OCD within our collective communities, and we are determined to tackle it in a comprehensive way in 2023.

To do this, we are inviting you to a public consultation that is open to all where we will be sharing our plans and opening up a discussion to bring in your thoughts, feedback and ideas so as to bring out our collective voices for the benefit of our collective Muslim communities. 

We have never been afraid of tackling taboo topics, and the impact of that can be seen in our work:

• We have an immensely successful podcast, featuring more than 50 guest speakers with lived experiences or expert knowledge of mental health, faith, spirituality and psychology
• Our counselling service, comprising qualified counsellors and therapists who offer counselling in more than 12 languages, gets more than 60 referrals a month
• We receive as many as 8 external workshop requests a month from mosques, schools, universities and community centres
• Our popular #AskIM service, which is an anonymous and confidential space to ask specific mental health related questions, receives 15 questions per month
• We have published research reports on hidden topics, such as pornography addiction, barriers to seeking mental health support within the Muslim community and the impact of Covid-19 on mental health
• Breaking the stigma around mental health challenges, such as intrusive thoughts, eating disorders, suicidal feelings, sexual and domestic abuse, to name a few, and empowering individuals to heal from their struggles

Be at the forefront of this grave issue in the muslim community in guiding our plan for 2023!
