About the event
Chai & Chat: A Community Conversation on Mental Health & Wellness
Join us for Chai & Chat – a welcoming space to connect, share, and support one another in open conversations about mental health within South Asian communities.
Mental health can be a difficult topic to talk about, especially when stigma, cultural expectations, or language barriers get in the way. Chai & Chat is here to change that. We’ll come together to explore how we can care for ourselves and each other — with compassion, understanding, and cultural wisdom.
This three-part community conversation series is developed specifically for individuals with heritage from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. Together, we’ll discuss real-life challenges such as:
Acculturation and integration stress
Family and community pressures
