There are over 26 million refugees worldwide, and the majority are Muslims who hail from diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds. It is widely recognized that refugees are at high risk for mental health concerns and are in need of cultural and psychological adaptations to improve their well-being. Given the paucity of data in religio-spiritual adaptation using psychological interventions, the authors propose developing a religio-spiritual training resource that could help humanitarian aid workers and other professionals understand the needs of displaced Muslim refugees (Al-Nuaimi & Qoronfleh, 2020). Here, the authors present a religio-spiritual model that uses evidence-based psychological interventions to provide transcultural religiously and spiritually driven psychological care for displaced Muslim refugees.
