Muslim Mental Health Conference
for Community Leaders
Saturday, May 14, 2022
Marriott Hotel, Sugar Land,
Texas, USA
Introduction
For too long, mental health has not been given the attention it deserves in many communities.
People suffer needlessly from otherwise treatable conditions, often hiding within the shadows,
or living with the stigma that so often accompanies mental illness.
The Muslim Mental Health Conference for Community Leaders is a unique forum to bring together community leaders
in person to manage mental health issues in our communities. Here, they can engage, discuss,
and develop a better understanding of the prevalence, challenges, and resources
in managing these conditions. The goal of the conference is to challenge the status quo and
create awareness about mental health and wellness among the larger Muslim community.
Who Should Attend?
Community leaders who frequently encounter undiagnosed or untreated mental health
patients will benefit the most. This includes Imams of mosques, leaders of charitable and
educational institutions, policymakers, mental health practitioners, teachers, and anyone else
who is in a position to influence members of the community.
