Over the years, Machik has addressed many issues connected to social well-being and emotional resilience, particularly through our work on women’s empowerment, healthy masculinity, education and conservation. We were pleased to kick off Mental Health Awareness Month by hosting our Kora session on the vital topic of Stigma and Emotional Resilience in a Pandemic. 

This Kora featured a panel of outstanding speakers: Phuntsok Meston, Dr. Kunga Norzom and Patrick Hamilton, and included small group breakout discussions. It was co-hosted by Dr. Losang Rabgey and our recently minted sociologist Dr. Dicky Yangzom.
