Course Overview
As part of their role, imams, health, and social care workers are getting more involved in marital counselling. However, few of these workers have professional training in counselling and psychotherapy. Marriage counselling is considered part of the short-term care that Imams, health, and social care workers need to provide. Although the course is designed for the above professionals, it will also be beneficial for Muslims that are considering getting married.
From an Islamic perspective, the focus of marriage counselling or relationship counselling is to improve communication between spouses and address specific issues that are causing relationship problems.
