South Queens Women's March Mental Health Trainings for South Asian and Indo-Caribbean Youth and Families Part II
South Queens Women’s March (SQWM) recognizes that mental health challenges deeply affect South Asian and Indo-Caribbean men and youth in our communities. Too often, these struggles are overlooked due to stigma, cultural expectations, and a lack of accessible, culturally-responsive care. In light of recent events, we’re launching a continued series of mental health workshops, specifically focused on the experiences of men and young people.

These sessions will be led by licensed mental health professionals who share our cultural backgrounds and understand the nuances of our lived experiences. Together, we’ll hold space for honest conversations, healing, and skill-building.

Community members who register and attend each training will receive a free lunch and a certificate of completion. Seating is limited, so we encourage you to register early.

About South Queens Women's March: 
Inspired by global and national women's rights movements, the South Queens Women's March amplifies the voices of South Queens' diverse women. We are an all-volunteer multi generational, intersectional platform working to foster women's empowerment by dismantling norms, practices, and institutions that support patriarchy and gender injustice.  

Since our inception, we have taken to the streets to unify women and gender non-conforming individuals in our  community and provide them with the tools and resources necessary to empower their own lives and thrive. We have been curbing food insecurity, period poverty, building healthy relationships through workshops like the one we are offering today, and promoting wellness within South Queens.  

Our vision is to create a world free of violence, injustice, and oppression; a world where all people are on equitable footing, in the home, the workplace, in houses of worship, and in our larger community spaces.
