Maryum Khwaja, LCSW
Religious beliefs and values provide the moral foundation of many traditional (and not-so-traditional) family systems. Our May 10 Social Work and Religious Diversity conference will start off by exploring “The Religious Lives of New York Families” through discussions of Jewish, Christian, Hindu, and Muslim family life.
On the first panel of the day, we will hear from Maryum Khwaja, LCSW, who works as psychotherapist at the Bleuler Psychotherapy Center in Forest Hills, Queens, and in a private practice she co-founded called Nasiha Counseling – a practice that specializes in, but is not restricted to, working with Muslim clients. Maryum graduated from the Silver School of Social Work at New York University in 2001. Among many other projects, she has volunteered as a Foster Program Specialist with the New Jersey based organization Smile, developing relationships with DYFS to provide support for Muslim children and families in foster care.
Social Workers and mental healthcare professionals are encouraged to register for this one day conference. Continuing Education Credits are available for New York State LMSWs and LCSWs.
