🧠Mental Health in Islam: Faith, Healing & Connection
How can faith, professional support, and community help us navigate life's mental health challenges?
Join Faith Space Ottawa, in collaboration with CollabĂĽro, for an evening of honest conversation, reflection, and connection as we explore mental health through the lens of Islam, lived experience, and psychotherapy.
Hosted by Imam Ahmed Khalil, this special gathering features two guests bringing complementary perspectives:
🎤 Bassem Elghawaby – Author of Solemn Stream: A Poetic Journey through Faith and Bipolar, mental health advocate, and founder of Grassroots Multimedia. Bassem will share insights from his decades-long journey navigating mental health challenges, including the transformative role of faith, resilience, community, and finding purpose.
🎤 Dr. Antar Teleba – Registered Psychotherapist, bringing professional expertise and insights into mental health, emotional well-being, and the relationship between psychological healing and spirituality.
Together, we'll explore:
The intersection of Islamic faith and mental health
Navigating personal struggles while maintaining hope and spiritual connection
The importance of seeking support and overcoming stigma
How families, friends, and communities can foster compassion and understanding
Finding healing, resilience, and meaning through life's challenges
Whether you've experienced mental health challenges personally, supported someone who has, or simply want to deepen your understanding, this conversation is for you.
You don't need to have all the answers, and you don't need to have everything figured out. Come as you are.
