Training hundreds of Muslim conflict resolution coaches, community leaders, and helping professionals across North America and beyond.
here’s the problem:
Most of us were never formally trained in conflict resolution, mental health, or trauma-informed coaching.
Yet, we’re the ones people call when everything falls apart. And when it comes to Muslim and racialized youth and couples, most Western conflict resolution models don’t fully fit their realities: faith, family expectations, Islamophobia, identity, shame, honor, and community pressure.
What if you could combine your deep understanding of faith with evidence-based psychology to provide the support our youth truly need?

Why Therapy Alone and Generic Courses Aren’t Enough for Muslim Communities
The stigma surrounding therapy in Muslim communities is real. Less than half of those who need professional help ever seek it—and even when they do, many struggle to find therapists who truly understand their faith, culture, and family dynamics.
The Need
Less than half of those who need professional help actually seek it.
Many who do struggle to find therapists who truly understand their cultural and religious context.
Family conflicts, marital struggles, and identity crises can’t always be solved in a clinical setting alone.
This is why people turn to imams, chaplains, and community leaders even while in therapy. But wisdom alone isn’t enough. You need a clear, Islamic, culturally informed conflict resolution framework grounded in psychology, faith, and ethics.
What This Course Does Differently:
Teaches evidence-based conflict resolution from a faith-centered perspective.
Helps leaders break the stigma around mental health while honouring Islamic traditions.
Bridges the gap between Western psychology & Islamic ethics to provide real, effective solutions.
You’re already the person your community trusts. Now, gain the skills to truly transform lives.

Meet Dr. Anum Rafiq
PhD in Health Policy & Equity | Certified Conflict Resolution Expert | MBA & MA |ICAHP-Accredited Training Provider
I’m Dr. Anum Rafiq, a Pakistani Canadian conflict resolution coach. For over a decade, I’ve studied, researched, and worked with young Muslims navigating love, family, and identity in the Western world. Growing up as a Pakistani immigrant in Canada, I often felt caught between two worlds, faith and culture at home, and a different reality outside.
Like many first-gen youth, I longed for guidance but found no roadmap, no mentors who truly understood. That longing became my life’s work. I dedicated my PhD and double Master’s degrees to understanding faith-based conflict resolution, healthy relationships, and the bridges we need between our values and today’s world. Today, I train Islamic conflict resolution coaches, imams, therapists, and Muslim community leaders across North America to support youth, couples, and families with faith-aligned, trauma-informed conflict resolution tools.
This program is a labor of love, deeply rooted in lived experience and academic research. Our communities desperately need structured, faith-aligned support in resolving conflicts—especially in the complex landscape of today’s relationships.

The Conflict Resolution 1:1 Consultation Is Helping Couples Create Stronger, Healthier, and Happier Relationships…
"She gave me the words and confidence"
As a community mental health worker, I always wanted to support my Muslim and racialized clients better, but I kept feeling like something was missing. I had generic CBT and trauma tools, but nothing that really spoke to Islamophobia, family honour, or “what will people say?” dynamics.
This course changed that. Dr.Rafiq gave me language, a clear framework, and practical scripts that actually fit my clients’ realities. Last month I used her conflict map with a young woman struggling with her parents’ expectations around marriage, and for the first time I didn’t feel like I was pushing her away from her deen.
Now I feel equipped, not anxious, when a client brings in faith, culture, and family all at once. This is exactly what I needed to take my practice to the next level.

"First time in years, I feel truly ready to have these conversations."
I’ve taken a lot of couples therapy and coaching trainings, but none of them touched what actually shows up in my Desi/Muslim clients’ sessions: in-laws, money sent “back home,” modesty, extended family opinions, and religious guilt.
This Islamic conflict resolution training finally gave me a framework that honours religion and culture and still holds boundaries and accountability. I now have step-by-step session flows, questions, and tools I can go back to whenever I feel stuck. Just last week, a couple I’ve seen for years told me, “We actually feel hopeful again,” after I used the HEAL conflict process with them.
For the first time, I don’t feel like I’m improvising or guessing. I feel genuinely qualified to hold these conversations in a way that’s ethical, culturally grounded, and effective.

"I'm no longer asking women to "just have sabr""...
In my community work, women constantly come to me with painful stories about toxic parents, in-law drama, or controlling spouses. Before this course, I would listen and offer dua, a few reminders, and advice like “set boundaries,” but deep down I knew it wasn’t enough.
This certification gave me a full toolkit. I learned how to map out a conflict, how to spot nervous system responses, and how to honour our Islamic principles while not sending people back into harmful patterns. I now run a small “Faithful Conflict” coaching package, and the feedback has been incredible, clients tell me they finally feel seen as Desi/Muslim women, not just a generic self-help story.
If you’re the “go-to person” in your family or community and you want to support people in a way that is actually trauma-aware, culturally informed, and Islamically sound, this course is a game changer.
