Empowering Minds, Building Futures

Value Every Mind Workshops​

Working with Muslim Aid, Muslim Mind Collaborative introduces our ‘Value Every Mind’ School Programme, a comprehensive and faith-sensitive initiative aimed at managing anxiety and stress among students, parents, and school staff. This half-day programme offers holistic support through education and creative expression, providing toolkits and resources to promote well-being. Schools will engage in sessions, including assemblies, parent workshops, and creative arts activities, all designed to foster self-awareness and emotional health. Participants can also enter a competition to express their visions for a positive future, celebrating creativity and addressing community challenges. Join us in this transformative journey towards better mental health and well-being within our community. These workshops are available for secondary schools including faith-based Islamic schools and for mainstream schools in the UK.​​
