About the session
In this session, we heard from Navi Dhesi, Founder of No More Pretending. Navi explored how stigma can be shaped by culture, community expectations and silence, and how this can affect whether people feel able to speak openly, seek support or be understood. The session highlights the importance of culturally aware, compassionate approaches that recognise the full context of people’s lives.
