Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical students will explore the emotional and psychological impacts of reproductive health and hormonal changes on mental health. Through open discussion and education, students will discuss influences on South Asian women's mental health and overall wellbeing. This workshop aims to foster supportive conversations, reduce stigma surrounding mental health, and promote awareness of available resources.

This community workshop will focus on South Asian mental health. As part of the research, pre- and post-workshop surveys will be administered by the students to evaluate the effectiveness of culturally tailored programs in improving mental health awareness and understanding among South Asian adults. Participation in the surveys is limited to individuals who are 18 years or older and identify as South Asian, though the workshop itself is open to all attendees regardless of background.

The session will last approximately one hour but the surveys will take less than ten minutes. The benefits of participating include gaining culturally relevant information and increased awareness about mental health within the South Asian community.
