We have to navigate through imposed identities, expectations and stereotypes that create innumerable  challenges. As such, this talk focused on overcoming those challenges through acknowledgement, empathy, self-determination, and action. 

Finding it difficult to talk to your children about mental health? This Postive Thought Reminder discusses ways in which you can engage your children in discussion and provide appropriate support. 

Creative expression is a great tool to empower ourselves and challenge the negative inner talk we experience.  Anxiety will always make us worry about what is to come, how will people react? what will they say? what if this is no good?  Creativity is about the present and the process of creating something is what matters, not the reactions of people.

Immigrants play many different roles and live on the intersection of many different identities.
