Скачать или смотреть Webinar: Substance Use, Addiction, and Recovery in American Muslim Communities

Substance use and addiction are often hidden and highly stigmatized within Muslim communities, shaped by silence, shame, and limited culturally responsive resources. Join the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding (ISPU) for a discussion on our new report on substance use and recovery among American Muslims.

Published in partnership with Stanford University’s Muslim Mental Health and Islamic Psychology Lab, ISPU’s upcoming report on substance use, addiction, and recovery is based on in-depth interviews with 14 American Muslims who are either in recovery from substance use and addiction or have family members with histories of addiction. The study centers lived experiences to better understand how faith, family, stigma, and access to care shape pathways to recovery.

During this webinar, panelists will explore the issue through three key lenses:
Community & stigma: How shame, judgment, and social norms within Muslim communities can hinder help-seeking—and what it takes to build cultures of support
Clinical & culturally responsive care: Gaps in addiction treatment and the need for care that is culturally and spiritually informed
Family & faith: The dual role of families and faith as both sources of resilience and potential barriers to recovery

This conversation will highlight findings from the report and discuss actionable steps for community members, faith leaders, clinicians, and policymakers to reduce stigma and strengthen compassionate, inclusive pathways to recovery.
