About us
About the Muslim Wellbeing Foundation
Established to improve mental health and wellbeing within Muslim communities. People can face barriers — stigma, lack of awareness, and uncertainty about whether services will understand their values and beliefs. Many skilled professionals already do valuable work; MWF helps connect, strengthen and develop this wider ecosystem.

- 01Raising awareness and improving understanding of mental health
- 02Supporting culturally and faith-sensitive practice
- 03Developing education and training for professionals
- 04Encouraging appropriate standards, supervision and quality assurance
- 05Supporting collaboration between mental health professionals and Islamic scholars
- 06Undertaking and sharing research
- 07Helping connect people to appropriate services and sources of support
