As Movember comes to a close, we are reflecting on all the groundbreaking moments from this month. Especially the conversation with Andy Dunn at the Finding Light Through The Darkness Diwali Gala — a story of courage, culture, and the support that makes healing possible.
Men’s mental health doesn’t end in November. We hope you find small ways to care for yourself every day, especially through the holidays.

Holidays can hold a lot at once — warmth, gratitude, old memories, and complicated dynamics — and it’s okay if today doesn’t feel as simple as “just enjoy.” Family gatherings can bring joy and stress in the same breath, and if you find yourself needing space, boundaries, or a moment to reset, you’re not alone. This guide is here as a gentle reminder that caring for yourself during the chaos isn’t selfish; it’s mindful. Wishing you a Thanksgiving that honors both your connections and your wellbeing.

Self-care looks different for all of us 🤎
We asked the community at the Diwali Gala how they recharge and here’s what they shared.
We hope this season remind you to slow down, laugh a little, and indulge in self care, however that looks to you!

This year, we are honored to recognize Ravi Parekh (.r.parekh) and Aaron Pandian (.pandian) as our Mental Health Storyteller Awardees 🏅

Friends, co-founders, and the hearts behind the Mental Health Initiative for South Asians (.national), their work was born from unimaginable tragedy. After losing their college roommate to mental illness, Ravi and Aaron saw the need to share their stories and build a platform to support others going through similar experiences.
Their response was courage, vulnerability, and action. Today, MHISA is a national movement, using technology, research, and education to bridge critical gaps in mental health access and understanding for South Asian Americans.

We applaud their bravery, their clarity of purpose, and their dedication to reshaping our community’s relationship with mental health. 🤎

At this year’s Diwali Gala, we were proud to honor Rahul Sharma PSYD () as one of our Mental Health Champion Awardees 🏅

A licensed clinical psychologist and musician, Rahuls’s journey began with his own healing as a South Asian kid growing up in the Midwest. Through music — and his band Funk A Desi (), whose motto is “One family, many children” — he bridges conversations between mental health, music, and social justice.

In his words, “I would love for us to make accountability sexy.”

Watch the full video to hear his story and see why spaces like Brown Man Therapy mean so much to him. 🤎
