Naseeha

What Naseeha does

Naseeha is a Canadian non-profit mental health organization headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, that delivers faith-aware mental health services tailored to Muslim communities across North America. Founded in 2006, it operates the first 24/7 Muslim mental health helpline in North America, accessible by phone (1-866-627-3342), text, and live chat, and staffed by trained counselors providing emotional support grounded in Islamic teachings. Its service portfolio also includes an Online Therapy program connecting users with licensed faith-aware therapists, a Zakat-funded Free Therapy Program providing 8-12 sessions to refugees, students, single parents, and low-income families, and an Education & Outreach arm offering workshops, webinars, blog content, and digital toolkits (Prophet's Duaa, Family Connections Toolkit, Self-Care Checklist, Daily Dua Calendar, Ramadan toolkits).

The organization's underlying platform is essentially a human-delivered service stack layered on standard channels: a phone/text helpline, web-based live chat, video therapy sessions, and a Squarespace-hosted content and resource site. It distributes digital wellness tools (duas, checklists, seasonal Ramadan kits) and runs a sub-brand called MyFridays by Shamaazi, a recurring Friday charitable giving platform tied to the Hour of Acceptance before Maghrib prayer. No proprietary technology, mobile app, or developer API is disclosed; services are delivered by people, not software.

Naseeha is funded entirely by community donations through Sadaqah and Zakat and operates as a registered Canadian charity (CRA #825501869RR0001). All services are provided free of charge, with no fees charged to end users. The go-to-market is community-led: the organization reaches individuals via blog content, webinars, community workshops, faith-based digital tools, and partnerships with mosques, schools, community organizations, and institutional partners including Health Canada, CAMH, Kids Help Phone, Islamic Relief Canada, and United Way GTA. Customer segments include Muslim youth, parents and families, couples, newcomers and refugees, low-income individuals, and community organizations seeking mental health education.
