An exciting press release comes our way from the excellent network Muslims for Progressive Values in the US. They say "We created this project in order to fill the gap and do the work for the Queer Muslim community seeking mental health care from providers that are Muslim and LGBTQ affirming. This project seeks to address the unique needs of folx with intersectional identities who are struggling to find a mental health provider who can validate and honor both their identity as a Muslim and as a member of the LGBTQ community. Too often, we hear stories from queer Muslims that they must hide their identity because they are Muslim. This is not acceptable to us. As such, we created a vetting process that includes an application, thorough assessment of a candidate's credentials, background, experience working with and serving the queer community. We hope to bring more Muslim identified mental health providers to YOU so that you can make an informed decision about your mental health care and feel seen and affirmed as you navigate any of life's difficulties".
