New York City, NY, USA: A major online gathering focused on mental wellness in the Sikh community is scheduled for December 6, running from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST. The event, titled the Sikh Mental Health Summit, is being organised as the first initiative of its kind in the United States and will host community members, mental health experts, and advocates for a full day of conversations on wellbeing.

The Sikh Coalition announced the summit details on X, noting that it represents the first national effort dedicated specifically to Sikh mental health in the U.S. The organisation described the program as an opportunity for “learning, healing, and community,” with an emphasis on culturally informed mental health support. While the coalition highlighted the event’s goals, it did not release additional program specifics.

The summit will be fully virtual and free to attend, enabling people from any location to join. Organisers say the sessions will offer space to address important mental health concerns impacting Sikh individuals and families.

Among the featured speakers is Dr Rucha Kaur, who serves as the Sikh Coalition’s managing director of education and community development. Her role in the summit is highlighted in the promotional material.

The initiative is co-founded by Dr Poojajeet Khaira and Dr Avneet Soin. All sessions will be conducted in English, and the organisers emphasise that anyone may participate—there is no requirement to be Sikh or to work in mental health. Those interested can register through the official sign-up link shared by the summit team.
