The goal was to grind the outer layer of a lotus seed, providing it with the right environment to grow. At first, some of us found it a bit silly; we\u2019d never heard of a seed needing help to sprout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coincidentally, this workshop took place during one of my depressive episodes. I dreaded getting out of bed and felt like I wouldn\u2019t contribute much that day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, I didn't give the activity much thought\u2014until I realized how difficult it was. The seed wouldn\u2019t budge, and we all found it hilarious as we scraped it against tiny pieces of sandpaper. Then it hit me: I was like the lotus seed, needing a specific environment to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It had been a long time since a workplace acknowledged mental health, let alone dedicated a workshop to it. I still have my lotus seed; it reminds me of the importance of talking about mental health within our communities, especially when it's taboo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below is a photo from my bake sale, where I raised funds for SAF through my campus organization, Students for Immigrant Rights and Equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"770\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/saf-unite.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8CB204FC3DFF-1-770x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13888\" srcset=\"https:\/\/saf-unite.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8CB204FC3DFF-1-770x1024.jpeg 770w, https:\/\/saf-unite.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8CB204FC3DFF-1-226x300.jpeg 226w, https:\/\/saf-unite.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8CB204FC3DFF-1-768x1021.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/saf-unite.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8CB204FC3DFF-1-1155x1536.jpeg 1155w, https:\/\/saf-unite.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_8CB204FC3DFF-1.jpeg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A couple of weeks ago, we attended a workshop focused on mental health.
