Hi community! This year, we’re prioritizing mental health and wellness in our neighborhoods! Join us for a series of mental health workshops starting this month. To encourage community participation for our first workshop on January 21, we’re offering a $15 gift card to attendees aged 18 and older. Lunch will also be provided. Space is limited, so register as soon as you can!

We are honored to introduce one of our facilitators, Dr. Sarika Persaud, who will be leading our first workshop. Dr. Persaud is a psychologist based in New York City. She is the Training Director for the Psychology Fellowship & Postdoctoral Program at Fordham University, Rose Hill Campus.

Dr. Persaud’s clinical work and writing focuses on relationship & sexuality issues, and the intersections of psychoanalytic theory, Vedanta, and Tantra. Her academic research centers on community mental health for South Asian and Caribbean youth. On her spare time she is also a poet, writer, and Kathak dancer.
