Healsters.org offers Cultural Awareness Trainings that are designed to help educational, athletic, and social youth spaces understand common cultural realities of Muslim youth, and to reflect awareness and inclusion in their attitudes, policies, and services.

All programs are interactive and learner-centered. Experienced facilitators create a safe environment for a dialogue on difficult issues rarely discussed in the workplace. Our programs challenge participants to question deeply held assumptions, raise self-awareness, and be introduced to fresh perspectives and redefine personal responsibility.

• Reflect upon current views of Muslims, Islam, and Islamic practices as well as various related ethnic and national cultures

• Learn about Muslim traditions and practices, relevant contemporary issues, and their implications for Muslim employees, co-workers;

• Receive an overview of Muslim demographics, practices and traditions, pertinent contemporary issues and their implications.

• Learn about and engage in discussions around common stereotypes and other barriers faced by Muslims in the workplace, school, and other public and private settings.

• Discuss real-life situations and engage in discussions around freshly-gained knowledge may be applied

• Explore strategies for preventing discrimination, steps towards building an inclusive and productive work environment where all employees can perform their best.
