A lifeline, 24 hours a day

Sometimes, having someone to talk to can make all the difference.

Islamic Relief Canada is extending a lifeline to young people across Canada through a new partnership with the Naseeha Mental Health Helpline, Canada’s first 24/7 Muslim youth helpline.

Les jeunes âgés de 15 à 24 ans signalent certains des niveaux les plus élevés de détresse en santé mentale au Canada, tandis que le suicide demeure l'une des principales causes de décès chez les jeunes. Trop de personnes luttent en silence, et pour ceux qui cherchent de l'aide, le coût, les longs délais d'attente et le manque de services culturellement appropriés rendent la situation encore plus difficile.

Chez Islamic Relief Canada, nous croyons que prendre soin de notre communauté signifie être présent lorsque les gens ont le plus besoin de nous - non seulement pendant une crise, mais avant qu'elle n'atteigne ce point.

La ligne est gratuite à appeler et elle ne ferme jamais. La maintenir ainsi coûte de l'argent chaque heure de chaque jour. C'est ce que votre don finance.

Votre soutien maintient la ligne ouverte pour le prochain jeune qui appelle.

Your impact

Your Donation in Action

Every gift to this partnership funds Naseeha’s helpline directly. It means that when a young person picks up the phone, one of Naseeha’s trained counsellors is there to answer, day or night.

Give Monthly and Sustain the Partnership

Monthly support is what a 24/7 service needs most, because it makes the cost of staying open predictable for Naseeha. $20 a month helps sustain this partnership long-term. You can change or cancel at any time.

Comment tout a commencé

Naseeha has been answering since 2006, when a small group of volunteers began taking calls after work. More than 100,000 calls later, it offers free, confidential, faith-informed support in languages including Arabic, Gujarati and Urdu, to young people who cannot sleep, parents who do not know how to help their child, and anyone carrying something they have never said out loud.

Joindre les autres est un acte de force

Une jeune personne a contacté Naseeha dans les premières heures du matin, incapable de dormir et submergée par ses pensées. Elle a décrit se sentir épuisée, engourdie et déconnectée d'elle-même. Elle travaillait à sa guérison depuis un certain temps, et des vacances difficiles avaient fait remonter des émotions douloureuses à la surface.

Le conseiller a vérifié leur sécurité et leur a donné de l'espace pour expliquer ce qui avait conduit à la nuit difficile. Plutôt que de juger les envies avec lesquelles ils luttaient, le conseiller a reconnu à quel point il peut être épuisant de lutter contre des comportements qui ont été utilisés auparavant pour faire face.

They encouraged the caller to drink some water and leave their bedroom. The caller went downstairs, drank water and moved to the couch, which helped them feel less isolated. The counsellor reminded them that recovery is not always linear. By the end of the conversation, the caller had taken small steps to care for themselves and recognized that reaching out had made a difference.

“If I didn’t reach out, I would be stuck in my bed feeling worse.”

Naseeha Partnership FAQs

Does Islamic Relief Canada run the helpline?

What does my donation actually fund?

Your donation funds Naseeha’s helpline directly — the counsellors, training, technology and supervision it takes to make sure someone answers every time the phone rings.

What happens when someone calls Naseeha?

They’re connected with a trained counsellor who provides a safe, confidential space to talk. Naseeha’s counsellors are familiar with Islamic culture and traditions and support callers through a wide range of concerns, from anxiety and grief to family conflict and moments of crisis.

Are Naseeha’s services offered in different languages?

Oui! Naseeha offre un soutien gratuit, confidentiel, informé par la foi et culturellement sensible aux personnes de divers horizons, avec des services disponibles en langues telles que l'arabe, le gujarati et l'ourdou.

Is the helpline only available to Muslim youth?

Non. Bien que la ligne d'assistance de Naseeha soit spécifiquement conçue pour répondre aux défis uniques en matière de santé mentale auxquels sont confrontés les musulmans, elle offre également un soutien confidentiel et sans jugement à quiconque en a besoin.
