Our Mission

Param’s Light to Healing was created in memory of our mom, Param, to bring compassion, connection, and hope to those struggling with mental health challenges and substance use. Rooted in the love of our Punjabi/Sikh heritage, we also recognize the deep cultural stigma that often surrounds these struggles — making it harder for individuals and families to seek help.

 

We believe no one should suffer in silence or shame. Through culturally sensitive outreach, education, and support programs, we aim to build a safe and understanding community where healing is possible, stories are honored, and light is always within reach — even in the darkest moments. This is a space where we break silence, break stigma, and begin again — together.

​

Our biggest goal is to support those who may have been or still are in similar positions as my family and me. There were resources fixated on one or the other, but not a combination. Al-Anon for families of addicts + therapy for mental health. I believe that they go hand in hand. Addiction rarely can exist without underlying mental health struggles ranging from depression to unresolved trauma. I hope that whatever may come of this is beneficial in showing the connection.
