Help Us Raise Funds to Sustain Our South Asian Grief Support Programs
Grieving the loss of a loved one is one of life's most profound challenges. Without the right tools and support, individuals may unknowingly adopt poor coping mechanisms, leading to deeper emotional and mental health struggles. This is especially true in culturally distinct communities where tailored resources are scarce.
At Soch Mental Health, we’ve pioneered culturally relevant programs to address this critical gap. With your help, we can ensure that more South Asian community members receive the support they need to heal.
THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT
Your donation will directly support three grief support groups tailored to South Asian communities:
Punjabi Group: Akaal
- Meaning “timeless” in Punjabi, this group creates a sacred space for participants to honor their loved ones while learning healthy coping strategies.
Tamil Group: Iravaatha Anma
- A safe space for Tamil-speaking individuals to process grief, Iravaatha Anma was piloted in Fall 2024 and has already made a meaningful impact.
Urdu Group: Shifaa-e-Dil
- Translating to “healing of the heart,” this program provides Urdu-speaking participants the opportunity to navigate loss with support and guidance.
All three programs are capped between 8-10 participants per session to ensure meaningful engagement and personalized attention.
WHY YOUR DONATION MATTERS
Our programs have been supported in the past through generous funding, including:
- $30,000 over two years from Brampton Crematorium and Visitation Centre
- $14,600 from the Registered Nursing Foundation of Ontario
- $12,500 from the Advance Brampton Fund to expand the program to Tamil & Urdu speaking communities.
- $12,500 matched funding from Soch's 2024 Annual Car Wash Fundraiser
However, this funding has concluded, and the demand for these programs has grown.
YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL HELP US
- Expand program availability to meet increasing community needs
- Maintain accessibility by keeping costs low or free for participants
- Provide a lifeline to individuals navigating one of life’s most difficult journeys
Every dollar you give will ensure that grieving South Asian community members have access to culturally appropriate, life-changing support in 2025 and beyond.
JOIN US IN THE SEASON OF HEALING
Together, we can make a difference. Your generosity will provide hope and healing to those who need it most. Let’s ensure that no one in our community grieves alone.
Donate today and be part of the healing journey.
