Mental Wellness Program

About the Program

As a learning organization, MYPI has listened to our youth and has heard our community through surveys and data collection. The Colorado Muslim youth have a serious need for mental health services that are culturally competent, well-informed, and trusted. In order for those services to be accessed, we must combat the stigma, bring forth dialogue and safe spaces to build trust between families, leaders, mental health providers and the youth.

Our Goals

Create ACCESS to culturally competent & trusted services

BREAK STIGMA and remove social and emotional barriers to clear the path towards help, healing & wellness

Build TRUST between youth and all aspects of the community, including parents, religious leaders, mental health professionals, and each other.

Youth EMPOWERMENT through resourcing, skill & identity development, story-telling & problem solving opportunities when it comes to the issues affecting the community today.

MYPI Wellness House

The MYPI Wellness House offers basic counseling services for youth and their families by our trusted Muslim mental health professionals. Our referral & resource network is well-rounded and growing; we can help you find a service provider that fits your emotional, spiritual, and personal needs.

As a result of Islamaphobia, Muslim youth have some of the highest bullying rates in Western countries, coming from classmates and sometimes teachers and faculty.

 

The prevalence of PTSD in youth in this population is staggering and our goal is to provide resources that address their concerns and help them to integrate into their new society.

Ethnic and Racial Demographics

We have more than 20 languages and cultures in our community

What does this mean?

With such diversity comes a host of unique needs and considerations that must be made, especially because our community is also faith-based. Our refugee, asylum seeker, and immigrant populations have either witnessed or have family who’ve witnessed genocides, brutality, and systemic injustice.
