Rcoz is glad to support and for this special Nurses Week Comedy Night featuring Vinayak Pal, Julius Ramirez, and Jex Ramirez.

Honestly, a comedy night with good food, family, and people who finally understand your work life sounds like exactly what half the Bay Area community needs right now.

Healthcare doesn't have to be all work, stress, long shifts, and routine. Come, let's switch off for a bit, laugh loudly, meet others in the community, and just have a genuinely good evening together.

Saturday, May 16 | Indian Hot Spot Restaurant, San Ramon | 5 PM – 8:30 PM

Where do we go when all else fails? How do we actually get our health in order?

BAY AREA INDIAN NURSES ASSOCIATION (BAINA) decided to meet Desis right where they are. Because if Mohammad won’t come to the mountain…

The energy at the Sunnyvale Hindu Temple felt like home. Punjabi, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi all swirling around the room. I found myself switching between languages all morning without even thinking about it, such a fun brain exercise :)

Fatima Arastu DNP, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, CNEn®, C., kudos to you for building this (Hyderabadis rule!). As table neighbors though, it was hard to watch people literally scurry past the su***de prevention table saying “not for me.” But between Rcoz (Our Cause) - A South Asian Mental Health Awareness Initiative, you, and the growing number of orgs doing this work, we’ll get there.

On our end, the “Chalo Baatein Karen” banner helped break the ice. Somehow, talking about mental health in their language, in a kurta, with a bindi… it just made it easier to start.

Thank you to the 25+ people who stopped by to learn about us, our upcoming gala, and the youth who wanted to be part of the High School Changemaker program. Learn more here: https://www.rcoz.us/events/

Sandip Sall DNP, FNP-BC, thank you for making it so easy for us to be there. We’re already looking forward to doing this again with you in August.

@ Deepa , this wouldn’t have happened without you and it definitely helped that my niece was there, quietly supervising me. Thank you ❤️

So glad I got to meet so many people working so hard to make health, physical or mental, more accessible.

Thank you BAINA for everything you do for the community!

Chalo Baatein Karen™ is coming to Mindful May.

We’re glad to be part of the Heartfulness Institute’s Mindful May event in Fremont, a morning filled with thoughtful programming and conversations.

In time for Mother’s Day, join us for Dear Mom, Your Boundless Love Deserves Boundaries.

Mothers carry the emotional weight of their families, constantly juggling work and home while managing expectations, obligation, and guilt along the way. It is time we talk about their self-care, boundaries, and overall well-being, not just everyone else’s.

Join us for Dear Mom, Your Boundless Love Deserves Boundaries, facilitated by Roopali Rajvanshy and Sripriya Chari.

May 9, 2026 | 12:00 – 1:00 PM
Free and open to all!

“When emotions are high, logic will be low.”

DB Bedford was inspiring, as he walked us through what that actually looks like. His story was raw. Time in the system, life going off track, and then the slow, hard rebuild. You hear it and immediately think about how many situations escalate simply because we don’t have the tools or language early enough.

We heard from Preet, Hume Center on culturally responsive care, and connected with folks across Probation Reentry, La Familia, Seneca, Telecare, Bay Area Community Health, Family Paths and more. Different roles, same intent: how do we reach people earlier.

Big shoutout to for hosting!

Appreciate Dr. Clyde Lewis and the ACBH team for bringing people into the same room to have these conversations.

We’re continuing this on May 30th. Join us: https://www.rcoz.us/events/2026annualgala/

Let’s talk about ROI your mom would actually approve of.

Join us on May 30, 5:30 pm onwards at the Woman’s Club of Palo Alto for the Rcoz Annual Gala.

An evening of community, culture, and mental health awareness that actually lands.

And yes, your ticket counts as a 2026 tax write-off.

Sponsor. Donate. Or be in the room: https://www.rcoz.us/events/2026annualgala/ (link in bio)

We are so happy to welcome Webscale Networks as a Gold Sponsor for the Rcoz Annual Gala.

While their team spends their days building the digital infrastructure that keeps the world running smoothly and securely, they are also stepping up to help us strengthen a different kind of foundation: a community where mental health is talked about openly, honestly, and without judgment.

It takes a village to normalize these conversations, and we are deeply grateful to have Webscale standing with us.

We’d love for you to be there with us on May 30: https://www.rcoz.us/events/2026annualgala/ (link in bio)
