#ChangeYourSOCH Fundraiser

In Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi, SOCH means "to think" or "a thought". As community mental health nurses, we truly believe that the way of combating the stigma towards mental health is to change the way our community "thinks" about mental health.SOCH is a mental health promotion initiative started by two Registered Nurses from Brampton, tailored at providing the South Asian community with education, awareness, and resilience skills in regards to mental health. As grass roots 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 wellbeing.To date SOCH has conducted 175 mental health workshops, facilitated the first mental health event at a Sikh temple in the GTA and started an international TV show called "Apni SOCH.”Website: www.sochmentalhealth.com  | Instagram: @soch_mentalhealth | Facebook: @sochmentalhealth// | Twitter: @SOCHmh
