Mental Health Support for Ethnic Minorities and Diverse Communities
A Mindful Message was born out of a profound realisation during the global pandemic. The world was grappling with unprecedented challenges, and the need for accessible, culturally sensitive mental health support became more apparent than ever. Our founder, Jaskaran Soomal, witnessed firsthand the disproportionate impact of mental health issues on Black, Asian, and other ethnic minority communities. This stark reality inspired a mission to make mental health support available and inclusive for all.
Your Multilingual Path to Mental Well-being
Jaskaran Soomal has a background in psychology and counselling, as a leader in the field she is able to offer layers of perspective and knowledge to support the “under the radar” service users. During the pandemic, Jaskaran witnessed the need to bridge the gap in mental health services for diverse communities through work and charity. She wants to offer organisations support to alleviate their challenges such as; waiting times, cultural and language barriers, neurodivergent support and help organisations become inclusive and diverse.
