Grounded in an understanding of Islamic principles and solid work with Muslim (Filipino) communities, the Islamic Mental Health and Psychosocial Support training program is designed for mental health, humanitarian and healthcare workers, religious leaders, teachers, project managers, and community members seeking to apply an Islamic framework in preventing and/or responding to humanitarian emergencies and in designing and implementing sustainable community development programs. The core principles, guidelines and intervention pyramid being used by international humanitarian organizations, and trauma-informed care principles will also be discussed in relation to the Islamic framework.

As a bonus, the training includes psychological first aid (a combination of Islamic and humanitarian principles for providing compassionate, practical and immediate support in times of need).
