Sandy Kaur joins the Sunflower Conversations to discuss mental health and suicide prevention in Punjabi and South Asian communities and how her charity Sehhat is tackling the topic. We discuss the barriers to seeking support, including the obvious one, which is language and the cultural fear of judgment from the community. Whether talking about mental health or processing grief after suicide, Sandy explains how essential it is to provide access—starting by building trust and creating safe spaces to start those conversations.
