Inside Out, Outside In- Islamic Psychology & Mental Health - Taught by Ustadha Sarah Sultan
-
If You Think This Couldn’t Affect You Or Your Loved Ones, Think Again.
-
1 in 6 people per week face a common mental health problem.
-
Depression is cited as one of the leading causes of disability worldwide and suicide rates continue to climb year by year, especially among young people.
-
Our daily lives aren’t conducive to good mental health.
-
Work/life imbalance, social media, loneliness, technology, financial struggles and a heap of other modern norms place tremendous pressure on us mentally and spiritually.
-
Overcoming the pressures of modernity requires an understanding of what mental health is, its impact, and practical steps to maintain a sound mind.
-
Though the attention given to mental health in recent years has increased, mental health resources have yet to reach the level of accessibility the world desperately needs.
