Islamic Center of Detroit

Investing in Mental Health

The Islamic Center of Detroit (ICD) exists to serve the most vulnerable people within metropolitan Detroit through the Muslim faith, Islamic principles, and a fundamental belief in assisting others. Officially opened to the public in January 2000, the ICD has been expanding through new initiatives such as food security, refugee services, youth, and Imam services.

Historic Mental Health Clinic

Many families in our community have immigrated from countries where mental health infrastructure does not exist. Realizing this need, the ICD youth committee founded My Mental Wellness (MMW). In 2024, MMW opened its doors to the community as the first-ever mental health clinic to be established inside an Islamic Center in the United States. This year alone, the clinic has provided 900+ free therapy & counseling sessions to 120+ new clients.

MMW was featured in the August 2024 issue of Harvard University's Public Health magazine: https://harvardpublichealth.org/mental-health/detroit-islamic-center-offers-free-mental-health-care/
