American Muslim Health Professionals

What American Muslim Health Professionals does

American Muslim Health Professionals (AMHP) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2004 and headquartered in Rolling Meadows, Illinois, that serves as the national professional association for American Muslim health professionals and a public health intermediary for Muslim communities. Its core product is Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) certification training, delivered through 65+ training events to 2,100+ community members, supplemented by 1,600+ teachers, parents, and students trained through school and family programming. AMHP also operates annual national conferences, faith-leader/clergy trainings, a Muslim Free Clinics national directory co-developed with Harvard and Boston University, and policy advocacy at the federal level (including a 2015 White House roundtable).

The organization runs four regional chapters (Chicago, DC/MD/VA, Greater New Orleans, Texas) and reaches 30+ states. Its business model is nonprofit: revenue is generated from individual donations, MHFA training fees ($55 per participant), conference registration, and grants from institutional partners including HHS, the VA, Johns Hopkins, Harvard, and the National Council for Mental Well-Being. AMHP co-founded the National Muslim Task Force on COVID-19 with 40+ Muslim organizations, which provides coalition leverage and referral flow. Leadership includes Executive Director Shafaq Zia (2026), Executive Director Shoaeb Basha (since December 2023), and President Sana Syed. The organization has no disclosed AI/technology stack; its value delivery is human-mediated, in-person training and convening rather than a software platform.
