With her extensive knowledge and background of working with people in the field of mental health, Mousumi was looking for an organization that worked with womxn and healing as a community. She believes Laal is doing this by providing many excellent programs for womxn and is help members and staff when it comes to mental health.

 

In her own words, "As a practitioner of Psychodrama and Group Psychotherapy, Laal is the place where I can provide workshops to help womxn develop emotional literacy, learn about self care, as well as healing to be resilient as Bengali immigrants. In general, mental health is neglected and trauma, vulneribility has deep roots in our Bangladeshi society. I really loved the way Laal is creating the opportunities to develop as a community and helping to overcome these crises."
