SUMMARY:Sunehri SOCH- Holiday Party
DESCRIPTION:A welcoming space for adult South Asian women to connect\, share their experiences\, and explore their emotional and mental well-being.\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\n“A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create\, nurture and transform.” – Diane Mariechild \nBut even the full circle needs another circle to connect with and respond on a deep level. \nThat’s exactly what Sunehri Soch is. It is a circle\, a group\, a vibrant friendly community of empowered women from all axes of life\, supporting one another and find the meaning of true joy every day. This online group is open to all women\, however we are focusing on South Asian women who are 45+. \nWomen spend their lives caring for and loving their families. It is finally time to discover the need and the importance of self-care. When we pay attention to our interests and find joy in things we might have forgotten along the way\, we are able to feel so much better about ourselves. We look forward to meeting some amazing women who are looking to bring their talents/experiences and share them with others. \nPlease share this event with your moms and aunts and anybody in need for a group that is beyond the small talk. \nDetails \n\nVirtual Meet-Up – Sunday\, December 27th\, 2020\nTime: 2:00 PM – 3:30 PM EST\nLanguage: Hindi\, Punjabi\, Urdu & English\nPlease register and a Zoom link will be sent to you.\n\nJoin Our Facebook Group – SunehriSoch : www.facebook.com/groups/sunehrisoch/ \nMeet your facilitator: \nHello\, I am Rimple Sembhi and I live in Brampton\, Ontario. I am a warm\, friendly person who is always looking to put a smile on faces. As I started my journey of self-discovery almost a decade ago\, I never knew where I would be heading. Like most people\, my journey started while looking to break free from the dark clouds that used to show up quite frequently. While looking to find answers for many life questions and finding solutions to the challenges\, I started my journey exploring the Universe. The more I opened up to the Universe\, the more it started opening up to me and answers started pouring in through books\, videos\, podcasts etc. As I continue my journey discovering many secrets of this Universe\, my heart fills with gratitude for the peace\, love and light I am showered upon.

SUMMARY:One Step at a Time
DESCRIPTION:It’s time to talk about men’s mental health on June 22nd\, 2020. It is time to breakdown the stigma and encourage men to seek help.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nOn June 22nd\, 2020\, we are going to bring together men to share their experiences and become educated on the mental health services that are available for everyone. According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada\, 80% of all suicides are committed by men. \nThe goal is to make a positive change\, to have an educational event about men’s mental health. We will be featuring health care professionals and open a dialogue to pull back the curtain on the stigma surrounding mental health. We have partnered up with the SOCH mental health team. \nSOCH is a mental health promotion initiative started by two registered nurses from Brampton\, tailored at providing the South Asian community with education\, awareness\, and resiliency for mental health. As a community initiative\, SOCH’s aim is to first ‘start the mental health conversation’ to break the stigma in the South Asian community and second\, to empower the community with the skills and knowledge to navigate the mental health system\, support loved ones\, and most importantly\, take a preventative approach to caring for one’s overall well being. \nWe as Canadians should be encouraged to learn more about the symptoms and signs of mental health problems and for men to have the opportunity to share about their lives. Mental illness effects everyone and knows no boundaries\, we should all be comfortable seeking help when needed. \nEvent Agenda: \n\nGeneral mental health discussion (the difference between mental health vs. mental illness)\nThe importance of self-care\nHow to reach out for support\n\n  \nRegister Today For This Online Event! \nhttps://www.eventbrite.ca/e/one-step-at-a-time-tickets-107355005712?aff=efbneb
