Description:
Offering CPD-accredited training in Islamic, faith-based conflict resolution for Muslim youth, couples, families, and communities.
The Culturally Informed Conflict Resolution Coach-Certification Program (CICRC) provides practical, evidence-informed tools for professionals and community leaders who support Muslims navigating relationships, family conflict, and identity in Western contexts. This online program is designed for therapists, counsellors, imams, chaplains, coaches, social workers, and Muslim community leaders who want to integrate psychology, conflict resolution, and Islamic principles in an ethical, trauma-aware way.
Our CPD-accredited courses help learners:
- Confidently support Muslim couples and families through conflict without compromising faith or clinical best practice.
- Understand how culture, migration, colonisation, patriarchy, and Islamophobia shape relationship dynamics and help-seeking.
- Use structured conflict frameworks, scripts, and assessment tools that are faith-aligned, culturally sensitive, and easy to apply in real sessions.
Many practitioners ask:
“How do I support Muslim clients in conflict without giving generic Western advice that doesn’t fit their faith or family reality?”
“How can imams and chaplains move beyond ‘just have sabr’ and provide practical, ethical, trauma-aware guidance?”
“What does Islamically grounded, psychologically informed conflict resolution actually look like in session?”
CICRC is built to answer these questions with clear models, case studies, tools, and scripts that can be used immediately in practice.
The core CICRC training is CPD-accredited (4 hours) and delivered online, with downloadable toolkits, including: a 5-step conflict conversation map, integrated case assessment sheet, youth & secret relationship pathway, imam/community script pack, trauma-safe check-in protocol, and a business-from-home launch playbook for those building a coaching practice.
