South Asian Mental Health Initiative and Network (SAMHIN) is partnering with the Indian Cultural Society of East Brunswick and the East Brunswick Public Library to present an innovative program aimed at increasing awareness and fostering acceptance of mental health within the South Asian community.

The program will feature Dance of Depression, a powerful movement-based performance by Meghna Sharma and Latika Chani that explores themes of silence, stigma, and suicide. This will be followed by Soliloquies of the Mind, a series of thought-provoking theatre monologues on mental health, compiled and directed by Anand Rao.

A panel discussion with mental health advocates and professionals will provide deeper insight, and the event will conclude with interactive reflection activities designed to engage and inspire the audience.
