An engaged generation
Today's youth are perhaps the most aware of the importance of maintaining good mental health. Still, large numbers of them face issues that they struggle with and finding the right support that suits their needs.
One of the challenges in getting help is finding a counsellor who is of a similar religious and cultural background that can understand the interplay between the two identities we have living as minorities in our countries.
Our counsellors at Ibn Sina Sanctuary are qualified to help with a range of things that the youth of today may face.
What we can help with
What problems might you seek help for?
Anxiety
Feeling nervous about school, exams or family matters.
Broken homes
When parents separate, managing the transition between two houses and then going to school can be hard.
Addiction
Whether this is to gaming, pornography or something else, we can help.
Friendship groups
Friends can sometimes be the biggest cause of stress in your life.
Bullying
Being on the receiving end of bullying is hard, and sometimes the advice given by well-meaning adults may not seem to help.
Wider family dynamics
Navigating emotions as a result of family problems such as parents divorcing.
Young carer
Being a carer from someone in your family can be really hard.
Bereavement
When you lose a person, it leaves a huge hole in your life.
Life choices
When you come to choosing colleges or university, making the choice can seem daunting.
