According to the Pew Research Center, the Muslim population is growing and is one of the fastest growing religions in the United States. Most Muslims in America are immigrants from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. This year's Ramadan, a religious holiday for Muslims, occurs from March 22, 2023 - April 20, 2023, so many Muslims will be practicing fasting and developing a deep connection with their religion. Also be mindful that, given the intersectionality of ethnicity and religion inside the US historical contexts, how might we aim to support and be an ally to Muslim clients? What are some important themes to explore in therapy and what might a culturally responsive approach look like? In this episode, Dr. Dadouch shares her clinical practice strategies that mental health professionals can explore to support and be an ally to Muslim clients.
