Mission & approach.
Stanford MMHI is a community-driven research and advocacy project seeking to understand and address the unique mental health needs of Muslim students at Stanford University. Launched in 2020 as a project of the Stanford Muslim Mental Health & Islamic Psychology Lab and in partnership with the Markaz Resource Center, the research study and its findings are being used to devise evidence-based programming and identify resources that support the health and wellness of the Muslim community.
Through Maristan, undergraduate and graduate students can book therapy sessions with Muslim-identifying clinicians and attend student support groups on themes that matter to them — finding comfort in confronting difficult issues with the support of their community.
What is MMHI
Muslim Mental Health Initiative.
Muslim Mental Health Initiative (MMHI) works to reduce mental health stigma, expand access to culturally congruent care, and connect students with Islamically integrated psychotherapy. Through a partnership with a university, Maristan offers individual and group sessions by a licensed clinician tailored to the lived experiences of Muslim communities in academia. The MMHI program ensures that mental health support is accessible, confidential, and grounded in the cultural and spiritual values of Muslim students.
