Mental health and addictions are stigmatized in the Muslim community.
Negative attitudes, stigma, and a lack of knowledge can prevent individuals with addiction from seeking help and getting the support they need.
To improve knowledge, attitudes, and help-seeking, and destigmatize mental health and addiction in the Muslim community, we have developed the Canadian Muslim Virtual Addictions Program (C-MAP).
CAMH researchers are seeking participants to understand how C-MAP—a novel virtual faith-based psychoeducation program—improves attitudes and reduces mental health stigma.
You may be eligible if you are aged 18 or older and self-identify as a member of any of the target study populations:
Muslim individuals with lived addictions experience.
Muslim family members of an individual with addictions.
Spiritual leader (i.e., imam/clergy/chaplain/spiritual care providers).
Muslim individuals from the general public.
