MCWS x Ruh Wellness Initiative
Counseling services by
We recognize that members of our community face unique pressures here in Michigan. Unfortunately, there are limited therapy services that are guided by the principles of our Deen and professional mental health expertise.
To help address this need, MCWS has partnered with Ruh Care, a team of licensed Muslim mental health professionals, to make counseling services more accessible to our community. The counseling services are provided directly by Ruh Care’s licensed therapists. MCWS is proud to offer support by creating a safe space for our community members who can now seek care in a comfortable Islamic environment that honors our faith and cultural values.
Our role here is to connect you with trusted professionals who can provide personalized mental health support, so you can work toward balance, resilience, and wellbeing.
Disclaimer: All counseling services are provided directly by Ruh Care’s licensed professionals. MCWS does not provide medical or clinical care. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
