The Alkaram Institute, in partnership with Khalil Center, is part of the Bridges Consortium big-data research projected funded by the John Templeton Foundation and Brigham Young University entitled Bringing Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapies into the Healthcare Mainstream. This $3.5 million dollar grant is the largest project to date on this topic, with over 30,000 responses from clients and over 23,000 responses from therapists. Our project, Spiritually Integrated Psychotherapy within an Islamic Context, explores the processes and outcomes of an Islamically integrated psychotherapeutic approach used at Khalil Center, the largest provider of Muslim mental healthcare in the United States.
