No matter what your challenge is, big or small, if it is causing you distress, it's important to seek help, support or advice. Whether you are a parent dealing with different issues or a young person facing emotional struggles, do not hesitate to call 1800 960 009 to speak to our dedicated and caring professional Muslim counsellors, who will deal with your matter discreetly and confidentially.

The helpline is free and open between 8am–6pm daily.

WHY DO WE NEED A MUSLIM FRIENDLY HELPLINE?

If you have tried calling the mainstream services, you will get the best professional support but without the cultural awareness and understanding that you need in order to fully deal with your crisis. Of course there will be times when there is no alternative but to use the mainstream resources which are currently available, like Lifeline or Beyond Blue. However, Islamicare aims to support Australian Muslim families by both providing professional counselling support bound together with the cultural and religious awareness needed to effectively support your call. All our counsellors are Muslim as well as qualified counsellors who have the best training and skills.

Duties to Parents

Kindness to parents is mentioned as a duty of believers several times in the Quran. There are many Hadiths that encourage us to be very kind to our parents.

Obedience must be discriminating. We obey our parents only in what is right and what is calculated to please Allah. But we should be kind to them in all situations. Almighty Allah has emphasized that kindness to parents.

Youth Challenges

No, your teen is not an alien being from a distant planet, but he or she is wired differently. A teenager's brain is still actively developing, processing information differently than a mature adult's brain.
