2019 Fundraiser: CHALLENGING MENTAL HEALTH STIGMAS IN SOUTH ASIAN COMMUNITIES
|
SAWA is hosting its annual fundraiser/awareness event on April 28, 2019 from 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm, followed by networking + dinner from 5:00 to 6:00 pm at the Hannah Community Center in East Lansing, MI.
This event will consist of panel discussions and interactive sessions with the audience to bring our collective attention to the awareness, acceptance, and access to resources required to challenge mental health stigmas in South Asian communities. Although the focus at this event is on South Asian communities, the discussion can easily be applicable to all communities nationally and globally. The featured speakers at the event include: Deputy Medical Director of American Psychiatric Association - Dr. Ranna Parekh and Consul General of Pakistan (Houston, TX) - Ms. Aisha Farooqui.
