Join us for the first annual Diaspora Mental Health Forum on September 13th! This transformative event will empower immigrant communities by addressing mental health misinformation, breaking down stigma, and creating a collective space for all diasporic communities to heal and grow together.
This forum is designed to be a safe, inclusive space where we can explore mental health through the lens of identity, culture, and community. Together, we'll build bridges of understanding and create pathways for healing.
