Become a Friend or Associate Member of AIMS

We invite you to become a Friend of AIMS or an Associate Member, and join our growing global community of individuals committed to promoting compassionate, faith-informed mental health and wellbeing within Muslim communities.

This option is ideal for those who may not be directly involved in counselling but still wish to stay connected, contribute, and benefit from our resources.

You are warmly welcomed if you are:

  • A retired counsellor or former mental health professional
  • A teacher, imam, chaplain, youth worker, healthcare provider, or someone involved in a related helping profession
  • Involved in Muslim community work, dawah, or support services
  • Someone who shares our values and wants to support the development of Islamic counselling and mental health services
  • Interested in building links with a professional organisation that promotes high standards in training, ethics, and care

Benefits of Being a Friend or Associate Member

  • ✓ Complimentary access to AIMS' professional journal and member newsletters
  • ✓ Discounts on selected AIMS training courses and CPD events.
  • ✓ Free access to member forums for learning, discussion, and community support
  • ✓ Opportunities to stay informed about developments in Islamic mental health and counselling
  • ✓ A meaningful way to support AIMS’ mission and global impact
⚠️ Please Note:
  • Friend or Associate Member status does not confer professional membership, nor does it imply accountability or endorsement for the purposes of public practice.
  • Friends and Associate Members do not hold voting rights and are not listed on the AIMS professional membership register.
  • This category is intended for support, engagement, and shared learning, not as a pathway to accredited professional status.
