Chiya Talk: Women Who Shape Generations By BCCPA Pathway to Hope × Bhalakushari This session brought together 15+ community members, mostly women, for an honest conversation about identity beyond the traditional roles women are often expected to embody…like that of a mother, daughter, daughter-in-law, wife, or even goddess. Together, we explored the question: Who are you beyond the labels? We began by asking participants, “What did you want to be when you grew up?” We invited women to reconnect with their childhood dreams, ambitions, and the parts of themselves that often become overshadowed by the responsibilities they carry throughout life. The conversation then explored the relationships that shape a woman’s identity. Participants reflected on their roles discussing their connections with partners, children, parents, and society. We discussed how these relationships can both nurture and sometimes distance from a sense of self. To close, we invited each participant to imagine themselves as a flower. Responses from a few participants: 1. “I am a rose, because despite the worldly layers around me trying to put me down, I am still a beautiful human being.” 2. “I am a white rose, because I am pure no matter what others say about me.” The session ended with a collective art activity. Each woman dipped her hand in paint, pressed it onto a shared canvas, and signed her own name beside her handprint to stand as symbols of individuality, affirming that before she is anyone’s mother, daughter, wife, or caregiver, she is her own person. Thank you for joining us. We look forward to having you at the next Chiya Talk: The Things We Don’t Say (High School Edition). Informational flyer out soon. by @projectpathwaytohope

Project Pathway to Hope presented key findings from its first evaluation cycle at the 47th Annual Meeting of the Society for the Study of Psychiatry and Culture (SSPC). We exceeded most recruitment and participation targets. We reached: 1. 47 participants through “Chiya Talk” community discussions 2. More than 216,000 social media views across 58 posts 3. 148 individuals trained in QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) 4. 61 individuals trained in Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) 5. Around 140 local service providers through cultural competency trainings 6. 10 high-need community members through case management services The evaluation found that the program was very well received overall and strongly recommended expanding staffing, funding, partnerships, culturally adapted materials, Nepali-language access, refresher trainings, and long-term engagement efforts to sustain and deepen impact. These findings were highlighted in our presentation, “Culture, Stigma, and Suicide Prevention in the Bhutanese Community,” which was featured as part of the symposium “We Are All Under the Same Roof: Ethnic-Nepali Bhutanese Mental Health,” moderated by Rochelle Frounfelker, ScD, MPH, MSSW, of Lehigh University. The symposium also included presentations on the psycho-wellbeing and social support of aging Bhutanese individuals, as well as alcohol and substance misuse among first-generation Ethnic-Nepali Bhutanese youth and young adults with refugee life experiences.
