MySahana
MySahana is an American, California-based, 501(c)3 certified charitable and educational nonprofit organization dedicated to spreading awareness about mental health issues in the South Asian community. It is the first nonprofit its kind on the West Coast and the only one in the United States that focuses on providing culturally relevant and sensitive information about mental health, rather than providing direct services to the community.
''Sahana'' means patience or fortitude in Sanskrit.
==History==
MySahana was founded on January 25, 2010 by marriage and family therapist intern Parijat Deshpande〔(Parijat Deshpande's Blog )〕 who, during her graduate career, felt that services in the South Asian community were lacking. Based on her experiences growing up as a South Asian and her professional experiences, she realized there was significant misunderstanding about what mental health is amongst South Asians and that mental health professionals knew very little about South Asian culture. She believed that while South Asians experience mental health symptoms, without proper education and awareness about what mental health is, the stigma for obtaining services would never lessen. Therefore, she began the nonprofit as a way to bridge the gap between the mental health field and the South Asian community.
