Catalyst to Amanah Masabih Initiative

Wellness Rooted in Care, Community, and Amanah (Trust)

Program Overview

A community-based dental hygiene and wellness outreach program serving Northeast and Central Ohio, promoting oral health education, sensory-inclusive practices, and wellness awareness for underserved and multicultural families.

Event Goals

  1. Promote Oral Health Awareness:
    Increase knowledge of proper dental hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and preventive care.
  2. Reduce Barriers to Care:
    Identify and address common obstacles to consistent dental hygiene such as affordability, accessibility, fear, and misinformation.
  3. Support Sensory and Behavioral Wellness:
    Introduce the Masabih Beads Wellness Model, teaching participants how textured beads can support calmness, focus, and time awareness during brushing—especially for individuals with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or anxiety.
  4. Encourage Community Empowerment:
    Provide free educational tools and hygiene kits to promote long-term self-care habits and encourage family involvement.
  5. Build Sustainable Partnerships:
    Collaborate with mosques, churches, schools, and community centers to expand the initiative’s reach and establish recurring educational events across diverse populations.
