SEEMA at ISNA: Hidden in Plain Sight

Mental illness affects 1 in 4 people. That means, almost every single one of us has some affiliation with a person who has a mental illness. Is it you? A family member? Your best friend?

Find out how 3 Pakistani-American sisters took their late mothers battle with mental illness and created SEEMA, a new organizational arm of MUHSEN. SEEMA supports Muslim families across the U.S. who are hiding from the shame and stigma of mental illness in their own lives.
