In this week’s podcast, Sandy Kaur speaks to Sukhy Desangh (@IAmKaurageous on Instagram) a campaigner, activist and survivor of domestic violence. Sukhy shares her experience of life as a South Asian woman in the UK who suffered with domestic abuse and the dissolution of her marriage following a long separation. She draws on her experiences in order to highlight some of the issues that women face around coersion, coercive control, violence and stigma from family and wider South Asian community. As a result of her experience, she is a campaigner and gives voice to other women seeking support for domestic violence. Elements of this podcast can be distressing so take breaks if you need to and come back to it when you can.

In today’s podcast, I’m speaking to the Founder and Organiser of Sikh Forgiveness, Sandy Kaur about Mental Health Ki Hundai Hai, her motivation in putting this guide together, what it means for people who have asked for Mental Health assistance, and the aims of Sikh Forgiveness to get this guide out to every Gurdwara in the UK at least. 

Mental Health Ki Hundi Hai is a guide and an understanding of clinically diagnosed mental health disorders.

Its for the everyday person and for professionals to get real about mental health. ⠀

⠀

The narrative for mental health can change when we eliminate the fear of the words. Very often mental health is dulled down, misinterpreted, or judged. Now we want to make it a normalised conversation. It is not a taboo or a stigma, it is our health.⠀

Being able to communicate these truths in translation is to break down those languages’ barriers far too many have experienced. ⠀

⠀

This book contains various mental health conditions with English and Punjabi translations, to support everyone to understand what mental health is. 

There are three versions of the book (an eBook, a black and white version and a full colour version) and you can find them on Amazon.

Today, we discuss life with Manny Tura (https://allmyfriendsareeggs.com/), about his experiences of becoming a powerlifting champion after being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.

Just as a content warning, there are some graphic descriptions of intestinal issues which Manny has shared with us, but they are needed in order to understand the context of the physical health issues he faced before turning it around and managing to find his way into competition power-lifting.
