Day 1:

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.

Day 2:

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 neurosicence 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.
