Does your local mosque offer a counselling service of some sort?

**Like*a*Star** - 2008-06-06 10:59:54 - Ramadan

For example, some mosques have a Family Problems services thing where the husband and wife can come in and sort their problems out with the Imam or someone in a similar position. Does your mosque offer this service and if not, would you think it would be a good idea for it to? And would you feel comfortable going to use the service or would you feel as though you would get judged?

I know Birmingham Central Mosque offer something like this. It's run by two sisters and I think there's a brother involved, not sure. I've not used the service but know friends who have.

yes. they offer family counseling and pre-marriage counseling. I personally would have no problem using their services because I know of people who have done so and it was helpful.
