Maristan is part of the mental health industry. It is a non-profit organization based in California. Their clinical, educational, and research-based approach was inspired by traditional Maristans. Maristans were the world’s first psychological treatment centers in the world. They were established in the 8th century in the Muslim world. Maristan aims to revive this tradition of a holistic approach to healing mental health issues. Much of their work also stems from the Stanford Muslim Mental Health & Islamic Psychology Lab, to inform holistic healing for clients and provide culturally and spiritually congruent, professional, accessible, affordable mental health care for all. Maristan uses their social media platforms to destigmatize mental illness in the Muslim community. Maristan connects people’s beliefs and traditions to mental health advice backed by research. Some people wrongly attribute mental health problems to a lack of religiousness. Maristan’s posts spread awareness about the difference between spiritual and psychological health. They do this by respecting people’s beliefs and traditions and demonstrating how taking care of their mental health is congruent with their beliefs.
