Take a look at our Health & Wellness Program Journey
We are grateful for the opportunity to have hosted several impactful health and wellness events. These programs have empowered our community members to take better care of their bodies, minds, and souls. Here are some of our past programs:
1. Special Needs and Disability: Sisters Community Connect
On October 27th, 2024, in collaboration with Muhsen Canada, the Islamic Society of Windsor hosted a meaningful gathering for individuals with disabilities and their caregivers. Led by Nada Merhi, Regional Lead of Muhsen Canada, the event provided valuable insights into available community support. Families shared experiences and connected with others facing similar challenges. Respite care was offered for children with special needs, though parents were required to stay with their children throughout the event. This gathering emphasized community support and the importance of connecting with others on this journey.
2. Coping with Stress During Conflict: A Workshop for Mothers
On November 23, 2024, the Islamic Society of Windsor hosted a special workshop for mothers, addressing the stress and challenges many are facing due to ongoing conflicts around the world. In collaboration with Canadian Muslim Counselling, the event featured Sr. Ammara, a psychologist, and Sr. Ayesha, a psychotherapist, who guided the group through understanding the psychological impact of Muslim genocide and provided valuable coping strategies.
This supportive space allowed mothers to connect, share their experiences, and learn practical tools to help manage overwhelming stress. The workshop focused on caring for oneself while also looking after the well-being of their families, particularly during difficult times. Attendees left with a greater sense of empowerment and resilience, equipped with coping strategies to navigate these challenging circumstances while supporting their families and children.
It was an incredibly healing and nurturing event, offering both emotional and practical support during trying times, reminding the participants that they are not alone.
