MWC Public Health Events

Women’s Health

MWC’s Board of Directors includes numerous female health professionals committed to educating the broader community on essential health topics, including reproductive and breast health, as well as cancer screenings specific to women.

General Health and Family Wellness

The Islamic Resource Center hosts regular educational sessions on various health topics, including diabetes, heart health, and addiction. It also offers programs aimed at strengthening families, supporting parenting, addressing social media challenges, and nurturing confident Muslim children.

Annual Mental Health Conference

Wisconsin’s Muslim population is growing, encompassing both immigrants and refugees, yet there are very few Muslim mental health professionals in the state. A lack of cultural familiarity among many providers has created barriers for Muslim clients seeking mental health support.

The MWC addresses this gap by uniting mental health professionals, researchers, educators, advocates, and individuals with lived experiences from across Wisconsin. Together, they promote well-being, support recovery, and work to bridge the service gap in the behavioral health community.

COVID-19 Education and Outreach

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Muslim Women’s Coalition (MMWC) quickly mobilized to deliver culturally competent health education to the diverse communities it serves.

While the population is multicultural, religion serves as a unifying cultural factor, and MMWC’s health education campaigns highlight the value of using trusted messengers for effective outreach. The organization coordinated and took part in over 100 community events and engagements, offering COVID-19 education in multiple languages.
