Host a Workshop
The Peaceful Families Project (PFP) facilitates domestic violence awareness workshops for Muslims across America.
The strongest defence is knowledge. Workshops inform and empower American Muslim to prevent domestic violence in our homes. PFP seeks to help you start support groups at your local mosque, or establish full service centers that would provide financial assistance, child services, shelters, counseling, transportation, legal services, immigration specialists, career development, and translation services.
Workshops are conducted by PFP facilitators. Each workshop will include the expertise from lawyers, social service specialists, and Islamic scholars. We encourage you to invite local medical professionals, domestic violence advocates, attorneys, community leaders, and Imams.
