The Islamic Center of Detroit (ICD) is thrilled to share the opening of its faith-based mental health clinic, named My Mental Wellness. This clinic represents a significant milestone for the ICD, which has operated since 2000 and has become a very important part of the community.
My Mental Wellness: Providing Essential Services
My Mental Wellness was developed from an idea proposed by the ICD youth committee back in 2016. This innovative clinic offers free therapy and counseling sessions, both in-person and virtually, ensuring accessibility for everyone in need. Additionally, the clinic provides services such as American Sign Language (ASL) support, career coaching, health fairs, and programs tailored for individuals with special needs.

In an upcoming event, the ICD will host various dignitaries, including the Lt. Governor, the Director of MDHHS, a Congresswoman, and local officials. This gathering will not only celebrate the launch of My Mental Wellness but also showcase plans for a new community health center in the area. The health center will be housed in a former school building that is undergoing renovations.
