This group is a part of the Cha in the City movement, supporting inclusive conversations around challenging subjects amongst Punjabi men.
About this Event

What is this group about?

The Heera Foundation is a charity aiming to narrow the gap between psychological support & education, and its' accessibility. We believe that one of the key avenues towards positive mental health is through conversation and connection. Therefore, we started open groups for Punjabi communities to connect and discuss on topics we don't usually talk about!

This is an open group for those who identify as Punjabi men to engage in a discussion with others around a particular topic, to listen, learn, and share. We welcome Punjabis from all faith backgrounds – Sikh, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, other faiths, spiritualities, and those who practice no faith or are agonistic.

In this session, we will reflect on what it's like Being a Punjabi Man in the Modern World. We will consider the following questions:

1) What does it feel being a Punjabi man in the modern world?

2) What challenges and pressures have we faced as men in the modern world?

-2a) How is this impacted by our Punjabi identity?

3) What can be done to mitigate some of these challenges?

-2a) What positives / strengths can we pull from within our community & culture?

-2b) What can others, and we as a community, do to better support one another with these challenges?


Who is this for?

This event welcomes all cis and trans men, as well as non-binary people who are comfortable in a space that centres the experiences of men who identify as Punjabi - of all faiths or indeed no faith. It's an open and safe space for those that want to share their thoughts or simply listen and connect.

What to expect?

Each month we will focus on a particular topic of importance and relevance. We provide a safe space to both listen or share. Our format usually involves:

- Introductions and Group Responsibilities

- Short Grounding Exercise

- Breakout Discussions

- Large Group Discussion

- Group Feedback and Ending

Thoughts can be shared, questions asked, or you can simply listen – there is no obligation to share your experiences, should you choose not to. Anonymous feedback is always encouraged at the end of the session, so we can continuously improve the group sessions.
