ICNA Relief Canada’s Family Counselling Services offers families various levels of counselling support such as: Relationship improvement, domestic abuse, trauma counselling, parenting, and and more. The roles of our Family Counselling Services are extremely broad, allowing extensive group and individual interaction; thus our responsibilities include (but are not limited to) teaching; psycho-social analysis; developing clients’ emotional, spiritual and self-management skills; and professionally assisting clients to carry out their plans and goals.

While exercising professional efficiency at all times, our social workers also maintain acute sensitivity to the ethnic, racial, cultural and individual diversity of every client, as per our Code of Ethics. We bring empathy and genuineness to the observation and analysis of clients’ behaviours and in communicating effectively with them. As our immigrant Muslim population increases, the demand for various counselling and therapeutic services also increases. Muslim Family Services is particularly focused on preventing or reducing culture shock within our diverse community of newcomers. Our aim is to preserve and strengthen these families through reinforcing strong Islamic values and healthy dynamics as they adjust to life in Canada.
