Culturally Competent Mental Health Resources for Sikh Americans
Seeking mental health support can be a challenge, particularly when finding resources that understand and respect your cultural background. SALDEF recognizes this gap and, with the support of The Asian American Foundation (TAAF), has created a comprehensive collection of culturally competent mental health resources designed specifically for the Sikh American community.
These resources, available in both English and Punjabi, aim to:
- Address the lack of culturally competent mental health support often faced by the Sikh American community.
- Empower individuals to engage in self-care and navigate difficult experiences.
- Equip organizations with tools to effectively respond to mental health needs within the Sikh American community.
SALDEF is committed to building capacity and providing the Sikh American community with the tools they need to thrive. We encourage you to explore these resources and share them with anyone who might find them helpful.
