Markfield Institute Launch the Centre for the Study of Wellbeing
The MIHE Centre for the Study of Wellbeing (CSWB) warmly welcomes all partners and members of the Muslim Mind Collaborative to our official launch. This is an exciting time in the field of Muslim mental health, with the strengths held within Muslim communities being bought forth through numerous collaborative efforts.

The MIHE Centre for the Study of Wellbeing aims to conduct research into contemporary wellbeing related matters faced primarily by, though not limited to, UK Muslims.
Where traditionally research has been conducted upon Muslim communities, the Centre for the Study of Wellbeing vision is to create spaces within which Muslims can lead on their own narrative and set the agenda in terms of how wellbeing is defined and measured for Muslim communities, particularly within pluralistic contexts.
MIHE CSWB focuses on two primary strands:
- Undertaking research regarding contemporary wellbeing related matters, designed to create impact at a grassroots level, with benefits reaching wider society.
- Embedding of research and academia within wellbeing expertise held at a grassroots level in order to develop, highlight, share, and provide robust evidence of innovative community initiatives, and further provide opportunities for strengthening such initiatives.
