Building a bridge between generations
The purpose of all of our conversations is to reach a common goal
To encourage the British south Asian communities to come together and discuss their cultures and traditions so that they can live better and grow.
Hello! My name is Sarvjeet and I am the Founder of Culture and Wellbeing, a community interest company.
South Asians are known for their strong family ties, sense of community and togetherness, as well as being proud of their cultural and traditional heritages. First generation migrants and second and third generation British-born people are experiencing conflict because of some of these outdated values. As a result, there has been an increase in mental health issues, particularly those related to isolation. There is a great deal of suffering associated with this, and it affects the entire family.
This is completely contrary to what our ancestors taught us over the ages to care for each other and be together. As a result, we must revise our values and realign our beliefs, attitudes and behaviours in order for these traditions and cultures to serve their intended purpose.
By creating Culture and Wellbeing, I wanted to provide all generations with the opportunity to have an open dialogue about the traditional and cultural values in our lives. By doing this, we will be able to create a bridge between generations and prevent mental health problems from occurring in the future.
Let's take this journey together, if we work together, we can make a big difference.
