Breaking the Silence Series | Paths to Collective Healing: Resilience, Resistance, & Renewal
A panel discussion with mental health professionals focused on collective healing amidst current events, drawing on Islam to serve as a guide for navigating trauma.
The theme of this session is about intergenerational cycles of trauma. Our panelists will be answering in the vein of the following:
Can you talk about how tawakkul (putting complete trust in Allah) can facilitate having a healthy outlook amidst all the atrocities we are witnessing daily?
Can you speak about how the repeating cycle of anti-Muslim sentiment may manifest somatically and emotionally? What are steps folks can take to process such emotions?
If you are interested in thinking about collective trauma while thinking about how the present and historical Islamophobic narratives are impacting the mental health of Muslims today, register for this panel discussion below!
