Oct 4 NAMI Walks, SIlicon Valley
From stories of ADHD to anxiety, South Asians at NAMIWalks, Santa Clara opened up like never before. Over 100 visitors reminded us why ending stigma matters and why we must keep talking.
Oct 4 Washington Hospital Community Safety Fair
More than 50 visitors, many South Asian families, opened up about stress, caregiving, and depression. These honest conversations are why our Support Groups and Chalo Baatein Karen sessions are so important.
Oct 16 Santa Clara Unified Family Resource Fair
Over 70 visitors including many South Asian families, students, and educators stopped by our booth to talk about why mental health isn’t rare, it’s real, and it’s ours to talk about. We made great connections with local organizations and opened doors to expand Rcoz programs across Santa Clara schools.
Oct 18 AFSP Out of the Darkness Oakland Community Walk
The Walk was a sobering reminder of lives lost. A standout moment was the keynote by a South Asian speaker, highlighting the stigma and lack of acceptance still faced in our communities, even in the Valley. By showing up and standing together, Rcoz aims to make a real difference and raise awareness before another crisis occurs.
