Trigger Warning - Sexaul assault, suicide.

As Suicide Prevention Month begins this September, we are highlighting Asian men and mental wellness as a primer for our upcoming Young Asian Men’s Summit in October 👇🏽 We sat down with appellate attorney Naveen Ramachandrappa—Partner at Bondurant Mixson & Elmore LLP and Board Member for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (@afsp_ga) Georgia Chapter—for an honest conversation on mental health, trauma, and healing. Tune in this month as we share bite-sized clips from our conversation. Growing up in an environment impacted by family violence, Naveen saw firsthand how intergenerational trauma takes a toll, and how mental health was only ever spoken about during a crisis. Thank you, Naveen, for your vulnerability in breaking down these stigmas. 🚨 Want to hear more stories like this? Join us on October 24 for the Young Asian Men’s Summit hosted by Raksha, Asian Student Alliance (@asianstudentalliance) and AAPI-PEACE (@aapi_peace).
