🧠 We’re prioritizing mental health this year! Join us on Saturday, May 18 at 1pm for a workshop on intergenerational trauma and the effects of colonization on the Indo-Caribbean and South Asian community at the Queens Library’s Lefferts Branch. To incentivize participation, we are offering a $15 gift card to anyone over the age of 12 who completes the training. Registration is required!

About our facilitator: Miranda R. Deebrah, LMSW is a graduate of Columbia University’s School of Social Work and currently works as a licensed psychotherapist for individuals of all ages in New York City. She offers a gentle and affirming therapeutic space where her clients can embrace their most free and authentic selves and receive mental health care uniquely catered to each individual to help them navigate life stressors and challenges and find healing within themselves. She has extensive experience working with survivors of DV/IPV, sexual abuse and trauma, immigrants, low-income and working class people, LGBTQ+ identifying individuals, neurodiverse individuals, people of Indo-Caribbean and South Asian descent, and communities of colour across NYC.

Her work has included destigmatizing and normalizing mental health care, hosting workshops that center and prioritize people of colour, and holding healing and processing spaces for communities with limited mental health support. As a Guyanese immigrant, Miranda is passionate about being in service to her community and considers it an honour and a calling to provide much needed therapeutic services to Indo-Caribbean people in NYC and back home in Guyana. She is pursuing specialization in ancestral and intergenerational trauma healing specifically for the global diaspora of Indo-Caribbean people and Descendants of Indian Indenture.
