We've partnered with 5 clinics across the UK, Lebanon and USA to help provide one-on-one counselling sessions in Arabic or English to ExMuslims at Risk, primarily women who suffer honour based abuse.

Story

Mission

Faithless Hijabi is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing crucial mental health support and advocacy for individuals facing social ostracism, persecution, or discrimination due to leaving their faith communities. We focus on those from backgrounds where such transitions can pose significant personal risks, including communities within the Middle East and Australia. Our commitment is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals can heal from religious trauma, build resilience, and achieve their full potential.

Our Story

Founded in 2017, Faithless Hijabi was born out of a shared desire among individuals who had left their faith to address the severe mental health challenges they faced. Recognizing the absence of competent and trauma-informed mental health services, we set out to create a sanctuary for those in need. Since then, we have grown to serve people from over 40 countries, providing essential mental health services and advocating for their rights and well-being.

Our Approach

Culturally Attuned Care: Our Mental Health Program is tailored to the diverse experiences of our beneficiaries. Our therapists are fluent in multiple languages, including Arabic, Farsi, and English, and possess deep cultural and religious understanding.

Trauma-Informed Practices: We prioritize trauma-informed care, addressing the specific needs of trauma survivors to help them cope, develop resilience, and reclaim their lives.

Impact

Our Mental Health Program has been instrumental in supporting hundreds of individuals dealing with the psychological impact of religious trauma. We help people overcome social isolation, anxiety, depression, and PTSD associated with their apostasy. Beyond counseling, we organize support groups, workshops, and educational initiatives to raise awareness and promote understanding and acceptance within society.
