Often a traditional approach to mental health leaves out the understanding and recognition of both the strengths and challenges of having a South Asian upbringing in the western world. Coupled with a minimization and stigmatization of mental health in many South Asian cultures, there are real barriers for those that are looking to make a positive change in their lives.
GSK Wellness is a place to work on the issues that impact your health and well-being, from a lens of understanding and awareness, to help you live the life you want to live.
Currently all services are being delivered virtually. For information on scheduling appointment, please go to www.gskwellness.
Periodically relevant topics related to mental health are posted on IG @gskwellnessinc
