Boldly Brown
South Asian Men's Mental Health Group. Los Angeles, CA. In-person and virtual.
California's first South Asian men's mental health group. This is not therapy in presentation. It is community, honesty, and healing in a room where South Asian men can say what they actually carry, without performing strength, without code-switching, and without leaving their culture at the door. Facilitated by a supervised MFT clinician using the Council Listening Model.
