The Silent Struggle: Breaking the Stigma Around Mental Health

Despite growing awareness, mental health remains a silent struggle for many – especially among high-achieving professionals, immigrants, and caregivers who are conditioned to “keep it all together.” In this honest and empowering talk, Shruti sheds light on the hidden toll of stress, internalized pressure, and perfectionism. She shares her own journey with mental health, including what it took to finally seek support, and how that choice transformed her life and career.

Attendees will walk away with a deeper understanding of emotional hygiene, signs of burnout, and simple yet powerful ways to normalize mental health conversations – in the workplace, at home, and within themselves.
