"The Exploring Anxiety taster workshop was an invaluable experience for young girls, offering them a safe space to understand and navigate their emotions and develop practical strategies to handle everyday challenges. We truly appreciate the time and effort dedicated to this course. The presenters were engaging and interactive, creating an environment where the girls felt comfortable to open up and participate in meaningful discussions. Thank you once again for your commitment and support. We look forward to the opportunity to offer more sessions like this in the future, continuing to make a positive impact."

"On behalf of Glasgow Gurdwara, we are deeply grateful to you for leading a transformative Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) anxiety workshop at the Sikhi camp. Your session equipped our young minds with invaluable strategies to build resilience and effectively manage stress. The children had a fantastic experience and thoroughly enjoyed the group activities. The camp instructors present during the sessions provided overwhelmingly positive feedback. Pupils explored the concept of anxiety, its signs, and effective strategies to manage it. It was a truly valuable session, filled with great tips and techniques for managing anxiety. You were both brilliant with the children, and we sincerely appreciate your efforts. Thank you once again!"

"Raj and Asma from the Scottish Asian Counselling Service kindly joined us for a staff wellbeing day at University Hospital Hairmyres. It was inspiring to hear about the important work they are doing to support the Asian community in our area. As a teaching hospital with many staff and students from Scottish Asian backgrounds, it was particularly meaningful to have their contribution. Their presence also helped raise awareness among our Spiritual Care Team of a valuable resource we can now signpost people to for culturally sensitive support. I would be delighted to welcome Raj and Asma back for future events and highly recommend their involvement to other teams or organisations."

FAQs

What are SACS workshops?

Our workshops are supportive, educational sessions that explore mental health topics in a culturally informed way. They help people learn skills, reduce stigma, and feel less alone.

Workshops are not therapy sessions. They are structured wellbeing and psychoeducation sessions which may include tools and strategies—without personal therapeutic work or ongoing clinical support.

Our workshops are designed for South Asian communities, but we welcome anyone who connects with the themes and values of our work. Some workshops are tailored for specific groups such as women, young people, or older adults.

We do encourage group interaction where possible, as sharing (even a little) can help you feel less alone, learn from others, and get more value from the session. You will never be pressured to speak before you’re ready.

Confidentiality is very important to us. We clearly explain this before the session begins and set group guidelines to encourage privacy, respect and safety for everyone attending.

Some workshops are free or funded, while others may have a small cost depending on the programme and venue. If you’d like more information about a specific workshop, please get in touch with us via the contact form and we’ll be happy to advise.
