A Culturally and Spiritually Literate Training in Understanding Islam and Muslims :
Their needs, challenges and aspirations
A conference designed for all service sectors including social services, mental health, health, education, law enforcement, government and public agencies, multi-cultural and settlement agencies. This unique conference aims to foster mutual respect, improve understanding and to inform constructively and professionally about Islam and to educate participants into the cultural and spiritual diversity of Canadian Muslims. This conference is critical in the light of increasing misinformation about Islam and Muslims. This is a strength based approach to service delivery.
