Mental Health: Make it yours and your families top priority!

We at RHWB are about driving holistic health - Physical and mental. This year we will launch many initiatives to help support our community. If you have any ideas, please reach out with your suggestions to our Chief People Officer - Renuka Balaji (+1215-840-6165)

Here are the list of resources for you to help in that journey:

  1. RHWB's 'Mental Health Helpline'. Connect with Dr. Sumanth — a licensed professional and fellow RHWB runner — who is available to listen and offer guidance in a confidential, supportive space.

  2. SAMAJ: In partnership with NAMI NJ, SAMAJ offers in-person resources across New Jersey as well as virtual support accessible from anywhere.

  3. SAAFC: Based in Philadelphia, SAAFC promotes community mental health awareness, education, and healing spaces. They also provide direct counseling services.

  4. Looking for a therapist?: Check out this directory for finding good South Asian therapists who can relate to you better and offer help. Psychology today lets you filter by language, type and insurance as well

The key to mental health is to know 'YOU ARE NOT ALONE! We are here to help'.
