Nisa Helpline recognizes the formidable obstacles Muslim women face when seeking mental health care. Cultural and social barriers can make it challenging for Muslim women to access the support they need, but this should never be the case.

That’s why we’ve partnered with Bell Let’s Talk to bring you “Her Wellness Journey” – a transformative virtual workshop series designed to enhance the social support, self-esteem, and emotional well-being of Muslim women. With a solution-focused approach and practical tools, we’re committed to supporting Muslim women through life’s diverse challenges and helping them uncover their most authentic selves. Don’t miss out on this empowering journey towards optimal wellness. Join us now.
