WHAT IS NASEEHA?
Launched in 2008, Naseeha is a telephone support line for young Muslims in North America to talk about and work through their issues with trained counsellors.
NEED IN THE COMMUNITY
As the Muslim community continues to grow in the United States and Canada, more and more youth are looking for an outlet to turn to for their day to day questions and concerns. Youth often need to talk through their confusions in the clash between the religious, cultural and Western environments. Naseeha aims to serve this need by helping caller navigate through their difficult circumstances and allowing them to make sense of their environment.
CONFIDENTIAL, ANONYMOUS and TOLL-FREE
1-866-NASEEHA is a toll-free number for Muslim youth across North America. The service is completely anonymous and confidential to ensure that our callers are able to discuss their matters in a private and comfortable setting.
HOW WE HELP
Our trained counsellors provide an empathetic and non-judgmental phone environment for callers to discuss their concerns, confusions and issues. Using proven counselling techniques within an Islamic framework, they help callers navigate through their difficult situations. Our counsellors do not give advice, but rather empower the caller by mutually generating and selecting alternatives through which problems could be solved.
OUR COUNSELLORS
Our counsellors are young practicing Muslims of various cultural and academic backgrounds who are trained in the essentials of phone counselling within the Islamic framework. They receive seven to ten hours of weekly training from Naseeha’s internal training and development program, mainstream counselling organizations, psychologists, psychiatrists, lawyers, social workers, doctors and various Muslim community leaders.
