Please consider making a donation to the Taarika Foundation. Whether you give $1 or $100, your contribution is still going toward improving mental health resources and events in the South Bay Area community.
To be more specific, our donations are put toward 1) paying expert guests (psychiatrists, therapists, social workers) for their generous contributions to our podcast and YouTube series; 2) sponsoring low-income youth to benefit from paid SEL and mindfulness programs; and 3) organizing free and public mindfulness workshops, such as our Mindful Baking workshop last Christmas.
