The Amal Program is a new initiative of Islamic Center of Naperville Youth (ICNY) hoping to create more open dialogue and comprehension about the mental health of young Muslims.
Under the guidance of Shaykh Omar Hedroug, The Amal team invites youth, professionals, and religious leaders to share their unique experiences associated with mental health awareness.
It is our duty to not only acknowledge, but to also understand the critical link between the psychological and spiritual wellness which contribute to the daily struggles of Muslim youth today. Individuals within our community are constantly navigating through challenges alone, such as grief, depression, anxiety, and other mental health conditions. However, we cannot let our youth fight such troubles alone. They deserve to be heard and supported through every step of the way!
