Growing up between cultures showed me the need for therapy that truly understands the nuances of identity and belonging, which motivated me to become a psychologist.
Shapes and Sounds acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the Land that our organisation operates on. We pay respect to First Nations Elders; past and present, and we acknowledge that sovereignty has never been ceded. Shapes and Sounds acknowledges the devastating impact of colonisation and brutality on the mental health of First Nations and Indigenous people. As Asian settlers on this Sacred land, we strive to utilise our own ancestries' experiences of colonisation, displacement and collective grief to ensure that we no longer perpetuate oppressive structures.
Shapes and Sounds is a certified social enterprise which is a business that exists to create measurable social impact. We invest at least 50% of our profits into our mission.
