The Muslim Youth Helpline (MYH) is a registered charity which provides pioneering faith and culturally sensitive services to Muslim youth in the UK.
MYH's core service is a free and confidential counselling service available nationally via the telephone, email, internet and a face to face befriending service in the Greater London area. The service uses male and female volunteers trained in basic counselling skills to respond to client enquiries.
MYH also runs an interactive peer support site, www.muslimyouth.net. The site was launched in October 2004 as Britain's first guidance and support channel for Muslim youth. The site is designed and managed entirely by young people and reflects the diversity of Muslim communities in the UK. The site encourages young Muslims to develop peer-support networks, access specialist and mainstream support services and care for their social and mental wellbeing. muslimyouth.net aims to raise awareness of the different social problems that affect young Muslims and provide culturally sensitive guidance to young people.
MYH is a youth led organisation which aims to put young people at the forefront of service delivery and at the centre of decision making at all levels of the organisation.
