Dubai, September 22, 2025 — The Community Development Authority (CDA) has unveiled the ‘Community Majlis Consultant’ initiative, a pioneering platform designed to offer residents direct guidance and advisory support on life and family matters. This step underscores Dubai’s commitment to building a cohesive, socially aware, and resilient community.
Launched under the ‘Year of Community 2025’ campaign and as part of the Dubai Social Agenda 33, the initiative revives the traditional Emirati majlis in a modern format, creating interactive spaces where residents can discuss personal concerns and family challenges with licensed psychological and social specialists. While these sessions provide professional guidance, the CDA clarifies that they do not replace psychological treatment.
