Together, we create the community we want to see.

I am a family lawyer and social worker in Ottawa, and have worked with Muslim Family Services of Ottawa in several capacities for many years. I know MFSO's services well and have been comfortable referring clients to their organization for a range of counselling and support needs. Their team consistently provides thoughtful, culturally informed, and client centred service. I particularly appreciate the level of communication with me as counsel, as well as their direct communication with my clients. MFSO has shown flexibility and responsiveness, while maintaining a high standard of service for families in deep need. Their supervised parenting services, in particular, have been an important addition. In a recent case, they were able to accept a family almost immediately at a time when other services had lengthy waiting lists. This made a meaningful difference, allowing the situation to move forward safely and constructively when timely access was critical. I have great confidence in the quality and responsiveness of their services and would not hesitate to recommend them.
