Mental Health with Sandy Kaur, Sehhat

By Annette The Sunflower Conversations Share
 
 
 

 

"Grounding is a technique which is used a lot for when you're struggling, potentially with anxiety. It's grounding yourself in that moment. It's what do you hear, what do you smell, what can you feel, what can you taste? It's realigning with your senses and focusing on those moments. Sometimes you would have earth grounding, which is walking outside barefoot, so you can feel the grass, so you can hear the birds, so you can refocus on your breath."

 

Sandy Kaur joins the Sunflower Conversations to discuss mental health and suicide prevention in Punjabi and South Asian communities and how her charity Sehhat is tackling the topic.

We discuss the barriers to seeking support, including the obvious one, which is language and the cultural fear of judgment from the community.

Whether talking about mental health or processing grief after suicide, Sandy explains how essential it is to provide access—starting by building trust and creating safe spaces to start those conversations.
