This event will feature 2 panel speakers from our community who will share their insights on nurturing relationships and dismantling stigmas that often surround mental health in South Asian cultures. We will cover topics around divorce, inter-racial relationships, getting married later in life, LGBTQIA+, and many more! It's an opportunity to engage with thought leaders, gain new perspectives, and participate in a conversation that matters.
We understand the importance of togetherness, so we've arranged a complimentary lunch to encourage community.
Drinks tastings will be provided by Jivanti and Marquis ,and the bar will be available for guests to enjoy free spirt and spirit forward drinks as they mingle and connect.
We're not just gathering to talk; we're coming together to build a network of support and understanding.
This special event will not be possible without the generous support of our community. We are seeking donations in any amount to help lift and support JiVA Mental Health. Please share this information with your own networks, so that we can create a fund to bring this programming to other South Asian communities within California, and beyond to other cities around the country. Your assistance will help end the stigma of seeking support for mental health challenges within our community.
