Stories & Conversations That Move South Asians to Seek Help Before It’s Too Late.


MARCH MONTHLY SPOTLIGHT
 

Game Time Just Got Bigger! Paraag Marathe Headlines Our Gala

“As South Asians, we are taught to compartmentalize our lives and push mental health to the back of our minds. But mental health doesn’t stay contained, it finds its way into impacting every part of our lives.” - Paraag Marathe, President of SF 49ers in the Aconic podcast.

It’s official! Our 2026 Annual Gala is live.

Join us on May 30 at The Woman’s Club of Palo Alto for Game Time for Desi Mental Health.

We’re especially proud to welcome Paraag Marathe, President of the San Francisco 49ers and a global sports industry leader as our keynote speaker. 

At a time when our Bay Area community has faced heartbreaking losses, these conversations aren’t optional, they’re urgent.

“What I learnt after 4 weeks into this program is that you should always reach out and seek help if you are going through something, this is to all the youth out there.” — Shreyas, 2025 HSCM graduate

Watch 2025 High School Changemaker Shreyas Jay share his story. What our youth are going through isn’t rare but talking about it still is.

Rcoz’s 2026 High School Changemaker Program gives South Asian students the tools to change that. From suicide prevention to substance use awareness, students learn from experts (including Stanford University), build confidence, and lead real conversations in their communities all while earning volunteer hours.

This isn’t just a program. It’s life-changing and last year’s cohort said exactly that.

Spots for 2026 High School Changemaker Program are filling fast. Don’t wait, apply now.
