More UpdatesING'S Muslim Mental Health Training
On Wednesday, November 8th, an ING trainer conducted an orientation on Islam and Muslim culture for a group of mental health care professionals at the Annual California Department of Mental Health conference titled, “Eliminating Disparities – Achieving Efficient, Effective and Equitable Care.” Joining Nabila Mango, who is a Muslim mental health care social worker in the Tenderloin district of San Francisco, the ING speaker participated in a workshop titled, “Mental Health Care for Muslim Patients.” As increasing numbers of Muslims are afflicted by mental illnesses, there is a growing interest in the greater health community in understanding and better serving the Muslim community. For that reason, ING recently developed a 4-6 hour training for mental health professionals titled, “Cultural Competency: Mental Health Care of Muslims.” The training was developed in cooperation with Muslim psychologists and psychiatrists associated with the Muslim Mental Health Institute in NY. This presentation along with two other ING healthcare presentations for general practitioners and OB-GYN physicians on women’s health care will be available on CDs in the near future. Those presentations are currently available through ING affiliated speakers bureaus around the country. Read MoreThank You to All Our Supporters

Based on media reports, attendees and speakers included Holocaust deniers, anti-Semites, and racists, such as former Klan leaders. Read MoreListening to Those We Serve
The entire experience of planning a series of seminars with ING was inspirational. They did an amazing job. The ING team welcomed input along the way which allowed each session to be even better than the one before it. We will continue to work with ING as I am confident that they will continue to provide value in our work.

I thought the ING seminar, “Preventing and Responding to Anti-Muslim Bigotry,” was an extremely valuable training for law enforcement, especially in today’s day and age with all the misunderstandings and misperceptions of the Muslim community…I feel this training will help my staff and I in developing better relationships and in responding to the needs of our community. I highly recommend this training to others.
