We'll focus on the challenges of parenting a child with mental illness. Kate’s son: bipolar disorder. Dawn’s son: social anxiety.

I think my son was 12 or 13, a new middle schooler, when I realized that he was more than just a kid having a bad day at school.

My son, at the age of 16, was grappling with challenges that seemed to grow more daunting by the day.

Each time I tell a piece of my story, I know that someone will benefit from my words, and that is all that matters to me.

I found that engaging in advocacy work helped to combat feelings of powerlessness and helped me rebuild a sense of agency and control.

Our conversation will focus on the mental health toll on advocates for survivors of sexual assault and abuse.

In general, mental health challenges are underreported in the South Asian community. That’s not surprising for an immigrant community.

My mom and I had a tight-knit relationship. I know a lot of people can say that about their moms, but ours was bonded by trauma so thick.

I am making this film because I want people to understand that South Asian families also struggle with depression, caregiving and more.
