Just for us: Inara is a line for LGBTQ+ and questioning Muslims to talk about any topic: sorrow, joy, coming out, finding community, trauma, crisis & more. Peer Support, unlike therapy, is based in shared experience, not diagnosing you to telling you what to do. Peer support is not case work. Inara is a line just for immediate emotional support, not a case management or resource line like 211 - though experience with resources may come up!

It IS trauma informed. We are building Inara because as trans & queer Muslims, we face unique and extreme isolation, hate and trauma - especially in the face of increasing Islamophocia and ongoing genocide. Inara is a safe place for both operators and callers to talk about heavy topics. It IS caller lead. You decide what you want to talk about. Plus: we will never call police or 911 on you without your request.
