Marriage Pre-marital counseling, marital challenges, family planning conversations.
Family Parenting questions, relationships with parents and children, family conflict.

About confidentiality. Conversations with the imam are private and held in confidence. The imam will not share details with anyone — including spouses, family, or other community members — without your express permission, except in rare cases where there is risk of harm.
If you are in crisis. The imam is here to help, but is not a licensed mental health professional. If you are experiencing a mental health emergency or having thoughts of self-harm, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or go to your nearest emergency room. The imam can also help connect you with Muslim mental health professionals.
