HELP MUSLIM YOUTH FIGHT THE MENTAL HEALTH EPIDEMIC.
The Muslim Chaplaincy of Toronto provides FREE spiritual and mental health counselling to students and youth around Canada. Although we primarily serve Muslim students, our counselling services are available for youth and young professionals alike, online and free.
We need your help in supporting students with spiritual and faith based mental health services on university campuses. University can be a very confusing time; often leaving students feeling lost, isolated and even disconnected from their faith. Through your support, The Muslim Chaplaincy will be able to continue building a spiritually uplifting community that provides students with religious grounding throughout their time at university.
Your donations can make a difference in the lives of hundreds of students in Canada. Perhaps even save a life.
Why Your Support Matters
The university environment can be an isolating place for both Muslim and non-Muslim students, without the proper support it can lead to an extremely difficult university experience.
·In addition to the limited mental health services available for students, there is a dire need for spiritual and faith-based counselling and resources that are accessible on university campuses.
Mental health care is expensive. On average, counselling sessions can cost anywhere between $100-200/session!
No one is immune to mental health issues and young people need our support more than ever. According to a study by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, young people aged 15-24 are more likely to experience mental health related issues than any other age group.
And that's where the Muslim Chaplaincy comes in.
Through your support, we will be able to continue offering FREE faith-based counselling sessions and Islamic programming rooted in love, mercy and compassion, for students across all 3 of our campuses. Helping them navigate the university experience, surrounded by a strong community.
In the 2020 academic year alone, we held 400 + FREE counselling sessions for students!
How will your donations be used?
The generosity of supporters such as yourself is crucial to our ability to provide and continue to offer our services to students in need of them.
The donations will be used to:
Allow the Chaplaincy to continue providing FREE counselling and mentorship sessions to our expanding audience
Support the long term financial sustainability of the Chaplaincy for the upcoming academic years.
·Allow for our Chaplains to continue providing accessible counselling/healing sessions to students.
Facilitate the expansion of current community programming on the university campuses through Islamic education events.
