Founded in May 2011, Muslim Family Services of Ottawa (MFSO) seeks to maintain healthy individuals and families through a holistic approach which includes accessible services, supports, and education in the Ottawa region. We aim to serve, in a professional and compassionate manner, people facing mental health issues. We are committed to serving the most vulnerable and marginalized people in our community, and to challenging gendered violence, anti-blackness, Islamophobia, and other forms of oppression. Furthermore, MFSO aims to provide a welcoming safe space for both Muslims and people of all faith and non-faith affiliations. We also seek to establish long term partnerships with other service providers in order to better serve our community.
