Understanding women’s health. Meet in Alwarpet. Nov.16

Selves and Spaces, a queer-friendly mental health organisation that focuses on creating safe, reflective spaces for conversations on wellbeing is hosting an event on Sunday, Nov.16 on ‘centering Indian women’s voices in mental health’. Supriya Prasad, clinic co-ordinator at Selves and Spaces says ‘this event facilitates a conversation with Dr. Poornima Viswanathan, clinical psychologist and contributor to Homecoming , a book that chronicles the journeys of Indian women.’ ‘Through readings and reflection, we’ll explore the role of empathy and personal narratives in reshaping how we understand women’s mental health,’ she says. A media note from the event host adds – Indian women often navigate their mental health in silence, balancing expectations, stigma, and differing standards. Th
