“Adjusting to a new environment is very difficult for the refugee community, especially the youth. There is a lot of peer pressure when these young kids go to school and colleges, which often leads to mental health disorders. That is why we need agencies like MAS-SSF to provide the much-needed counselling services to youth and families to help them cope with difficult situations.”

““MAS-SSF was one of our first member organizations and certainly over the years individuals from MAS-SSF have consistently been some of the most hardworking, most dependable, and most giving of our REMHDCO (Racial & Ethnic Mental Health Disparities Coalition) members. MAS-SSF has been a huge part of REMHDCO’s success in Sacramento.”
Stacie HiramotoDirector, Racial & Ethnic Mental Health Disparities Coalition
“All the work that REMHDCO has done would not be as powerful and effective without the help of MAS-SSF.”
“MAS-SSF should be supported because it has been the Muslim voice at the state level to represent the underserved communities for over twelve years since 2007. They are the only agency with the team of experts who represent all the cultures that exist in the Muslim communities, including the LGBT community. They understand all the languages spoken by your community.”
““Peer Support Services are evidence-based, and research has proven that they help. MAS-SSF has been providing those services from the beginning and there is no better organization than MAS-SSF to provide these services for the Muslim community. It’s an honor for me to donate and I encourage others to help MAS-SSF provide these services.”
