EVR and On Your Side hosted their first Community Care Retreat, with the primary goal of promoting wellness and initiating open discussions about mental health within the ESEA community. The aim was to create a safe space to connect with participants while simultaneously reflecting on what mental health means to each of us individually. A key objective was to dismantle the stigma surrounding seeking mental health support. To achieve this, we highlighted the diverse range of modalities through which individuals can find solace and support for their mental health. Our program included a variety of activities such as meditation sessions, aromatherapy and massage workshops, a facilitated queer healing circle, doodle meditation, and a panel discussion featuring speakers from esteemed mental health organisations like SEEAC, Kanlugan, Mind, and Sunray Psychology. Additionally, we curated a mindful market to celebrate and support local ESEA businesses, artists, and practitioners specialising in holistic well-being and mental health care.
