Substance use and addiction remain deeply stigmatized in many American Muslim communities, often preventing individuals and families from seeking the care and support they need. At the same time, a growing number of community-based organizations are reimagining what effective, accessible, and culturally grounded addiction care can look like.
Join ISPU on May 20th at 12:30 PM ET for a timely conversation highlighting three case studies on substance use and addiction services for American Muslims: Alliance Wellness Center, Lamps of Light, and Madina House Clinic. Together, these organizations offer distinct yet complementary models of care that center faith, culture, and lived experience while integrating evidence-based treatment approaches.
This webinar will explore how these programs:
- Address stigma and shift community narratives around addiction
- Integrate Islamic principles with clinical frameworks for holistic healing
- Build trust through lived experience and community representation
- Design flexible, individualized care models that reflect the diversity of Muslim communities
- Navigate systemic barriers and gaps in traditional healthcare systems
Panelists will share practical insights, lessons learned, and recommendations for community leaders, practitioners, and advocates working to expand access to culturally responsive addiction and mental health services.
Whether you are a service provider, policymaker, researcher, or community member, this conversation will offer valuable perspectives on how to build more inclusive, effective systems of care that meet people where they are.
