There’s a new mental health center located inside the Islamic Center of Detroit (ICD). ICD held a ribbon cutting ceremony on Wednesday for its faith-based My Mental Wellness center, which is open to all.
It’s believed to be the first mental health center inside a mosque in the U.S. Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan says ICD has come a long way from its humble beginnings.
“ICD is now the center of this community, and I’ve been here for food programs. I’ve been here for youth programs, been here for recreation programs, and now opening of a mental health clinic is going to serve the whole community,” he said. “It’s just a terrific day for Detroit.”
The clinic provides free on-site and virtual therapy and counseling sessions, as well as ASL services, career coaching, annual health fairs, and initiatives for the special needs community.
My Mental Wellness has served 200 people so far. ICD hopes to add additional health care services for the community in the near future.
