 rtual\, meet on Zoom\n\nRcoz Launches Asian-Indian Mental Health Initiativ
 e\n\n\n\nMay being Mental Health Awareness Month\, Rcoz kickstarted their 
 Asian-Indian Community initiative with an outreach event for Prothoma—a 
 local Bengali association with 300+ members.  They approached Rcoz seekin
 g assistance in promoting mental health awareness and acceptance.\n\n\n\nA
 n important component was to showcase the voices of relatable people shari
 ng their stories and experiences along with the expert opinion of Dr. Seem
 a Sehgal\, a board-certified psychiatrist. The session elicited quite a po
 sitive response as one participant shared their story of seeing young ones
  struggling with their feelings and emotions. Initiating such dialogues ho
 lds promise for potential life changes and fostering open communication am
 ong loved ones\, thereby removing the stigma associated with mental health
  and normalising it. This presentation was a big and necessary step in the
  right direction\, but much work still needs to be done. Visit rcoz.us tod
 ay to share your story\, thereby helping others in your community open up 
 and start a conversation.\n
