About Us

Expert By Experience is a community-led organisation that looks at mental health in South Asian communities. Our aim is to contextualise mental health in relation to structural, historical and cultural inequalities.

 Mental health does not exist in a vacuum and our aim is to contextualise mental health in relation to sexual orientation, gender, caste, and patriarchy (to name a few). These are the added layers to our everyday experiences.  

The range of experiences within the South Asian diaspora is vast and beautiful - though it is often weaponised as a form of oppression.

Inspired by the beautiful present and historic work by South Asian activists, the aim of Expert By Experience is to provide a platform for voices within the South Asian diaspora.​

It is only through helping others find a voice that will we do justice to ourselves as a cause for good.
