🌿 Mental health affects all of us, yet it can be hard to know where to talk about it honestly and openly. This May, 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫𝐬 & 𝗖𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗔𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝘆 are creating that space.Throughout Mental Health Awareness Month, we're hosting 4 Sharing Circles — small, safe gatherings led by mental health professionals, held in a warm and welcoming environment. Whether you're navigating something difficult, curious about a topic, or simply want to be in a room with people having real conversations, you're welcome here.
💬 Each 2-hour session follows the same format: the host shares knowledge on a topic, the floor opens for Q&A, and attendees are invited (never pressured) to share from their own experience.
=======
✨ The sessions:
🗓 Sat 16 May, 3pm–5pm
"WHO AM I": Identity & Self-Awareness
Most of us are never taught how to know ourselves. We inherit scripts from our families, adopt roles that seem to fit, build a life — and one day notice we never stopped to ask whether any of it is actually ours. Who am I, really?
This workshop gives you language and space to begin answering it.
👤 Host: HIEU TRAN 🇳🇴
A licensed clinical psychologist (Cand.Psychol., University of Bergen), psychotherapist in private practice in HCMC and group therapist trained at the Norwegian Institute of Group Analysis.

🗓 Sat 23 May, 6pm–8pm
"THE AWKWARD HOUR" - Social Anxiety
Some people find social situations easy. Others find them exhausting, confusing, or just quietly harder than they appear to be for everyone else.
This session is a small, informal conversation about what it's like to navigate a world built around a certain kind of communication — and how to find your way in it anyway. James will share his own experience and invite others to speak There's no fixed structure and no pressure to speak. Just a small group of people having an honest conversation around a table.
👤 Host: JAMES LEE 🇺🇸
James lives with AuDHD and has spent years finding ways to connect and communicate in a world that isn't always built for how his brain works. He's the founder of Otter Raft, a social discovery app built in Ho Chi Minh City for people who find connecting with others harder than it looks. He doesn't have all the answers — but he has a lot of experience, and he's happy to talk about it.
