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.

Who Should Attend:

This CPD-accredited training is designed for professionals, community leaders, and women building a practice from home who support Muslims in relationships, family life, and mental–emotional wellbeing, including:

  • Muslim therapists, counsellors, and psychotherapists who want to integrate Islamic, faith-based conflict resolution tools into their practice while staying aligned with clinical ethics. I
  • mams, khateebs, and Islamic counsellors who are regularly approached for marriage issues, family disputes, youth relationships, and want structured, trauma-aware, faith-aligned guidance.
  • Chaplains (hospital, university, prison, community) working with Muslims navigating grief, family breakdown, identity, and relationship conflict.
  • Coaches, mediators, and conflict resolution practitioners serving Muslim clients and looking for culturally informed, Islamically grounded frameworks.
  • Social workers, youth workers, and case managers supporting Muslim families, first-gen youth, and couples where culture, faith, and family expectations intersect.
  • Community leaders, masjid volunteers, and women’s circle facilitators who informally support sisters, couples, or families and want to move beyond ad-hoc advice.
  • Stay-at-home mothers (SAHMs) and Muslim women who want to build a flexible, from-home, faith-aligned conflict resolution coaching practice serving their communities.

Why attend / what you’ll gain:

  • Learn practical, step-by-step conflict resolution frameworks rooted in both psychology and Islamic ethics. Understand how culture, migration, colonisation, patriarchy, and Islamophobia shape Muslim relationship dynamics and help-seeking.
  • Gain ready-to-use tools (scripts, assessment sheets, pathways, and check-in protocols) you can bring directly into real sessions.
  • Build more confidence and clarity when supporting Muslim youth in secret relationships, couples on the brink, or families in recurring conflict.
  • For SAHMs and aspiring coaches: gain a clear roadmap for starting a small, sustainable coaching practice from home using CICRC tools.
  • Enhance your ability to offer support that is faith-aligned, culturally sensitive, and emotionally safe—instead of generic advice that doesn’t fit your clients’ realities.
