Nisa Helpline Now Providing Free Counselling Sessions in Arabic

The service offers guidance on issues including: Mental Health, Domestic Abuse, Islamophobia, Stress Management, Substance abuse, Eating Disorders, Anxiety, Anger Management, Depression, Sexual Issues, Suicidal Behaviour, Harassment, Relationships, and Career/Workplace Issues.

There is a growing demand for free, culturally-sensitive mental health care and Nisa Helpline, a project of Nisa Foundation, remains committed in bridging this gap and meet the unique needs of our diverse community, especially in a time like this.

In response to increased Islamophobia, demand from our community and Palestinian evacuees from Gaza, Nisa Helpline is expanding its services to now offer free therapy sessions with licensed therapists in Arabic.

Our licensed therapists offer Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT).  They may also utilize Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and other techniques depending on the needs of the client. However, as this service is considered short-term counselling the main type of therapy utilized will be SFBT. 

One of our clients expressed, "This service saved me when I felt lost in depression and anxiety. The guidance I received was not just coping mechanisms, but it was life-altering. I've learned invaluable skills that not only pulled me out of the darkness but will shape my future growth."

JazakumAllah khair for your continued support as it has allowed us to not only continue this necessary service, but expand it to where it is today.
