Health
The purpose of MMHI is to provide mental wellness programming and services to the Muslim community at UC Berkeley. MMHI creates a partnership between the Muslim Student Association, Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS), and Maristan, a non-profit organization that strives to revive the Islamic legacy of research and education that informs holistic healing and provides culturally and spiritually congruent, professional, accessible, and affordable mental health care for all. Grounded in Islamic traditions, Maristan aims to lead professional clinical care, education, and research in advancing holistic, mental and spiritual wellness. Maristan provides individual, family, and group psychotherapy; Maristan also provides community workshops and seminars as well as cultural competency training for mental health providers working with Muslims. As a part of MMHI, Maristan counselors will provide on-campus services focusing on the promotion and destigmatization of Muslim mental health and prevention, such as, but not limited to: drop-in consultation hours, biweekly support groups, cultural-sensitivity trainings for CAPS staff, and workshops throughout the semester. These efforts are all tied to spirituality including dealing with Islamophobia, stress management, time management, mitigation of depression/anxiety, relationships, suicide/violence prevention, community development, and more.
