SUMMARY:Keynote Speaker Series - South Asian Youth Mental Health Empowerment Program
DESCRIPTION:The Keynote Speaker Series is a part of the South Asian Youth Mental Health Empowerment Program occurring virtually every Friday of July! \n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\n\nBeing an “adult” can seem scary\, especially in the middle of a pandemic. Good thing Soch has got your back! \nAs a part of our South Asian Youth Mental Health Empowerment Program\, we are introducing a Keynote Speaker Series! For every Friday in July\, we are hosting 4 virtual keynote talks delivered by incredibly experience community members\, where each talk topic is catered towards mental health and wellness within the South Asian community. \nInformation regarding each keynote topic\, speaker\, and date & time can be found below! \n————————————————————- \nKeynote #1: Harm Reduction in the South Asian Community: Substance Use and Healthy Habits \n\nDate & Time: July 8 @ 4PM\nSpeaker: Varun Joshi\n\nVarun Joshi is a PhD candidate at the University of Guelph who specializes in environmental criminology and a member of Soch’s Men’s Mental Health Team. Prior to pursuing graduate school\, he worked in a variety of front line public service positions\, including in a peer support role facilitating substance abuse support programs for youth experiencing homelessness in Ottawa\, Ontario. Varun’s workshops explored the different relationships individuals can have with alcohol and how people experiencing substance abuse can approach recovery in a way that is suited to them. Soch has provided Varun with an opportunity to engage in mental health support with the community he was raised in and enjoys providing services in both English and Punjabi. \nKeynote #2: Building Resiliency Through Self-Care \n\nDate & Time: July 15 @ 6PM\nSpeaker: Iman Grewal\n\nIman Grewal is an Artist\, Mental Health Advocate\, Wellness Expert and Founder / Lead healer at YogaVedaIman. Prior to dedicating her life to wellness\, Iman worked for the City of Toronto’s largest contemporary art festival Nuit Blanche which paved the way for her to work as a Producer and Curator for the world’s largest film festival\, the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). As a passionate mental health advocate\, Iman shares her own story of resiliency and recovery in hopes to help others reach out for help. Currently\, Iman is actively pursuing a career as a mental health educator at the Canadian Mental Health Association and as a meditation instructor for CAMH\, the Centre for Addictions and Mental Health\, the world’s leading mental health hospital. Through Iman’s wellness platform\, YogaVedaIman\, Iman and her fellow team of healers focus on teaching a holistic approach to self care\, self discovery and healing which is offered in groups or one to one sessions combining the A-Y-M approach\, Ayurveda\, Yoga and Meditation. Iman was led down the path of self healing in her early teens after facing challenges with her own mental health. Iman uses the power of storytelling to share her experiences with childhood trauma\, depression\, anxiety\, PTSD and burnout due to avoiding self care which has resulted in multiple hospitalizations\, in hopes to eliminate the stigma related to mental health and express the importance of self care. After prioritizing her own self care and practicing self compassion\, Iman began to experience the life changing benefits of the A-Y-M wellness approach which led to Iman’s shift in careers and has since dedicated over 20 years of education and training to re-connect with the world’s leading alternative healing method and way of life originating from her motherland of India. Iman is fueled by her purpose driven mantra of seva (service) to her fellow humans. “When you heal yourself\, you heal the world.” \nKeynote #3: Career Development for Recent Graduates \n\nDate & Time: July 22 @ 6PM\nSpeaker: Monika Monga\n\nMonika Monga is a human resources professional with experience in full cycle and campus recruitment in both the public and private sector.

Likewise\, she has volunteered at the New Immigrant Career Fair helping international students with resume writing skills and navigating the Canadian Labour Market.

SUMMARY:Harm Reduction in the South Asian Community
DESCRIPTION:Come join the Soch family as we discuss different ways to navigate recovery from substance abuse. \n \nFacilitator Name: Varun Joshi\, PhD(c) \n\nFacilitator Bio: Varun is a PhD candidate at the University of Guelph who specializes in environmental criminology and a member of Soch’s Men’s Mental Health Team. Prior to pursuing graduate school\, he worked in a variety of front line public service positions\, including in a peer support role facilitating substance abuse support programs for youth experiencing homelessness in Ottawa\, Ontario. Varun’s workshops explored the different relationships individuals can have with alcohol and how people experiencing substance abuse can approach recovery in a way that is suited to them. Soch has provided Varun with an opportunity to engage in mental health support with the community he was raised in and enjoys providing services in both English and Punjabi.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this event\n\n\nSubstance abuse is a sensitive topic in the South Asian community for Indians and diaspora\, especially pertaining to alcohol. Opening up about having problems with drinking can be met with a variety of responses that can leave those suffering feeling alone and without support. Come join the Soch family as we discuss different ways to navigate recovery from substance abuse. Abstinence is often seen as one of the only avenues of support\, but this is not the case and we will explore how Harm Reduction can play a role in recovery for individuals that experience any form of substance abuse. This event will be facilitated from a peer support perspective where individuals are invited to share their experiences and learn how to begin conversations around addressing problematic relationships with alcohol.
