2025 Muslim Mental Health Conference

23rd October 2025 - Day 1 of this year’s Mission of Hope Mental Health Conference centres the urgent need to understand and respond to the psychological and well-being consequences of Islamophobia. Through trauma-informed, faith-aligned, and anti-oppressive lenses, the program addresses communal trauma, burnout, youth mental health, and collective resilience. This day is a call to acknowledge pain, disrupt erasure, and co-create healing pathways grounded in dignity and justice.

24th October 2025 - Day 2 shifts toward revival and restoration. As the field of Islamic Psychology rapidly grows worldwide, there is a renewed interest in re-rooting psychology within the Islamic tradition - a tradition that has long understood the human psyche through integrative and divine-centred paradigms.

The second day explores:

· Applied Islamic Psychology in therapy, education, and spiritual care

· Models that bridge neuroscience with Qur’anic anthropology

· Challenges of dilution and self-styled expertise in the popularisation of Islamic Psychology

· The importance of accreditation, ethics, and epistemology

· Case studies from Muslim-majority and Muslim-minority contexts

Together, these two days form a complete arc — from witnessing pain to restoring meaning. From confronting systems of oppression to anchoring ourselves in a psychology that honours the fitrah, integrates the deen, and serves the ummah.

This conference is not just about information; it is about transformation. It is about reclaiming the Muslim mind and spirit, both in healing from harm and in reimagining the future of mental health.
