Mental Health Awareness Fundraiser by Dil Diyan Gallan Community Services Society
2024-08-30 18:00 - 23:00 | Reflections Banquet & Convention Center, Surrey, BC, 6638 152A St, Surrey, British Columbia, V3S 5X5, Canada
Join us for a special evening dedicated to raising awareness and funds for mental health support within the Indian community in Vancouver. Mental health is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of overall well-being, particularly in our community, where stigma and cultural barriers can prevent individuals from seeking the help they need.
In the Indian community, discussions around mental health are often limited, leading to misconceptions and a lack of support for those struggling. This fundraiser aims to break the silence, providing a platform for open dialogue, education, and resources. Our goal is to foster a supportive environment where everyone feels empowered to prioritize their mental well-being.
The evening will feature inspiring speakers, cultural performances, and opportunities to connect with local mental health professionals. Together, we can create a more resilient, understanding, and healthier community.
