In this episode we are joined by Shuranjeet Singh who is the founder of Taraki - a non-profit organization working with Punjabi communities to reshape approaches to mental health. Our 3 main focal points are mental health challenges, career-centered pressure, and generational trauma.

Since Rahao has started, we have talked about various things that intertwine with mental health. Today we are actually solely talking about mental health in our punjabi community. On Instagram, we asked you what aspects of our culture deeply affect our Mental health. Many of you answered with generational trauma, career and school based stress, and so much more.
