Feedback
Every muslim woman should feel loved and heard.
Welcome to the Maryam Support Line, a free charity helpline dedicated to encouraging and supporting Muslim women. Our organisation was born from our founders personal journey of struggle, and the realisation of a significant need within our community.
At Maryam Support Line, we’ve taken hundreds of calls and our satisfaction score sits at 9.3/10. Our mission is to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where Muslim women can vent, release their emotions, share their pain, and find hope. We believe in the healing power of being heard and understood, and we aim to offer both emotional and spiritual support rooted in Islamic values.
We’re committed to providing a supportive experience.
What we can do to help you…
Listen to your worries, validate your experience, and talk with you about any difficulties you are facing.
Empower you with tools that Prophet Muhammad taught us.
Provide emotional support and reduce your feelings of loneliness.
Provide information about services that may be able to address some of your needs.
What we aren’t able to do…
As this is not a health service, we cannot discuss any type of traditional mental health treatment.
As this is a charity, we cannot refer or provide on-the-spot psychology and psychotherapy. However, we can provide information that may be able to address some of your needs.
We aren’t able to provide any financial, social benefit, or accommodation support. However, we may be able to share information and government resources to point you in the right direction.
We cannot provide Islamic or traditional legal advice.
We cannot support anyone under the age of 18.
We’re not an emergency service. If you are in an emergency, we urge you to immediately contact the appropriate authorities, as we do not have the resources to respond to emergency situations.
