BUILD FAITH-EQUITABLE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

The MMC Faith Equity Capacity Building Programme 2026 is a targeted initiative working with mainstream mental health services to strengthen how they understand and support Muslim communities. Delivered in partnership with the Association of Mental Health Providers, the programme focuses on building confidence in faith-sensitive and culturally competent practice, improving how services engage with identity and lived experience, and supporting more meaningful, trusted relationships with communities. Through training, insight, and shared learning, this work will also contribute to MMC’s 2026 Capacity Building Report, showcasing best practice models and shaping a more equitable approach to mental health care across the sector.
