           Winnipeg, July 8, 2025– PCHS Manitoba (Punjabi Community Health Services) is thrilled to announce it has received a $20,000 grant from the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation through the TELUS Manitoba Community Board to launch a new Youth Peer Support Program, set to begin in early 2026.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The initiative will be led by Roni Dhaliwal, PCHS Manitoba’s Community Outreach and System Navigator, and is being developed in collaboration with PCHS Ontario, leveraging their successful model while adapting it to reflect the unique needs of Winnipeg’s youth.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The Youth Peer Support Program will recruit and train young people from diverse backgrounds to serve as peer mentors, supporting one another through shared lived experience, community connection, and leadership development. Training and supervision will be provided to ensure peer mentors are equipped to offer meaningful support while building personal and professional skills.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;

      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This funding marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in youth engagement at PCHS Manitoba. The organization welcomes this new relationship with TELUS and continues to seek community-based partnerships that help create and implement innovative, culturally responsive programs that reflect the voices and strengths of the people they serve.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “It’s not just about launching a program—it’s about building long-term systems of support led by the community, for the community,” added Dhaliwal.

           Winnipeg, July 8, 2025
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           – PCHS Manitoba (Punjabi Community Health Services) is proud to announce that it has received $400,000 in funding over four years from The Winnipeg Foundation to expand its free, culturally responsive mental health and system navigation services for diverse communities—including the South Asian population in Manitoba.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This transformative funding builds on the ongoing, valued partnership between PCHS Manitoba and The Winnipeg Foundation. In 2023, a $50,000 community grant from the Foundation enabled PCHS to launch in-home and virtual therapy, as well as outreach and system navigation support, making mental health care more accessible to newcomers, elders, and others facing barriers in traditional systems.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           With this new multi-year investment, PCHS will further develop its grassroots mental health programming, including one-on-one counselling, culturally safe outreach, and navigation assistance to help clients access healthcare, housing, and social supports. The funding will also support expanded service delivery in community-based locations, allowing PCHS to meet people where they are and build trust in culturally familiar spaces.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “This support from The Winnipeg Foundation is a powerful affirmation of the need for culturally grounded services,” said Randeep Sidhu-Saini, Board Chair of PCHS Manitoba. “It enables us to address barriers beyond cultural responsiveness, including the need for gender-specific care and a more consistent, community-based presence.”

           Gender-based violence (GBV) is a violation of human rights that affects all communities, regardless of background, gender, or age. In Manitoba, the rate of GBV is higher than the national average, with disproportionately high rates in rural and remote areas, and particularly affecting Indigenous women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ peoples. This panel will provide an opportunity for Manitobans to engage with local experts and leaders in a critical conversation about how to combat and prevent GBV in our communities.

           Winnipeg, MB, November 12, 2024 – PCHS Manitoba, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to advocating for and supporting the South Asian community in Manitoba, is proud to announce that it has officially obtained charitable status. This new designation enables the organization to issue tax-deductible receipts for donations and receive donations from other charitable organizations, which will help expand PCHS Manitoba’s ability to deepen its community impact and further its mission to meet the evolving needs of South Asian individuals and families.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           With charitable status now secured, PCHS Manitoba is poised to grow its innovative programs and strengthen its partnerships across key sectors, including healthcare, social services, justice, and community engagement. The organization continues to pursue opportunities to enhance services and build stronger connections within the South Asian community, with a particular focus on addressing cultural needs and overcoming systemic barriers.

Furthermore, PCHS is working toward securing office space to accommodate individual counselling, group programs, and drop-in services, providing greater community-based access to support clients and families.

           PCHS Manitoba Officially Recognized by the Government of Manitoba
          &#xD;
    &lt;/strong&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           Winnipeg, October 29, 2024 – PCHS Manitoba is grateful for the acknowledgement and recognition that the organization recently received from the Government of Manitoba through a formal Manitoba Legislative Assembly Member’s Statement; a significant milestone in the organization’s ongoing efforts to serve the South Asian community. The announcement was made by Diljeet Brar, Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) for Burrows, marking a key step forward in the organization’s mission to provide culturally relevant services and advocate for the unique needs of South Asian individuals and families.

    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           In his statement, MLA Brar highlighted the important work that PCHS Manitoba has been doing to improve access to mental health services, legal support, and community engagement for South Asian Manitobans. "Through an evidence-based approach, PCHS aims to build community capacity with a focus on prevention, wellness, and cultural competency through collaborations that work towards the meeting the needs of Manitoba’s growing South Asian population," said Brar. "Culturally appropriate healthcare including mental health is important and very much needed in a diverse society like ours."

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This official recognition from the Government of Manitoba will further enhance PCHS Manitoba’s ability to expand its programs and strengthen its partnerships with local service providers and community organizations.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           “We are incredibly grateful for the recognition which is a testament to our incredible group of volunteer board members, senior advisors, staff and community partners,” said Rupinder Brar, Vice Chair of PCHS Manitoba. “It underscores the importance of our work and the need for culturally relevant services that meet the unique needs of the South Asian community in Manitoba. This support will allow us to continue advocating for those who need it most and to expand the vital grassroots community-based services we provide.”

           We are pleased to announce that Roni Dhaliwal, Social Worker and System Navigator at PCHS Manitoba, has been invited to participate in an important panel discussion on December 2, 2024, as part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           This event, hosted in collaboration with the City of Winnipeg’s Equity and Diversity Office and the Human Rights Committee of Council, will focus on the crucial role that men and boys play in preventing gender-based violence and in creating safer spaces for everyone in our community. The panel discussion will be held at the Canadian Museum for Human Rights from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           As a dedicated advocate for social change, Roni will be contributing to the dialogue around building safer, more inclusive communities and addressing the root causes of violence. This is an excellent opportunity to highlight the important work being done to combat gender-based violence and promote equity and diversity.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           The panel is part of the City of Winnipeg’s 16 Days of Activism campaign, an annual series of events aimed at raising awareness and fostering meaningful discussions about gender-based violence and its prevention.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      
           We are incredibly proud of Roni’s participation in this event and his continued commitment to supporting individuals and families in our community.
          &#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;/p&gt;&#xD;
  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;span&gt;&#xD;
      &lt;br/&gt;&#xD;
    &lt;/span&gt;&#xD;

Topics will range from adapting to Canadian culture, accessing health and social services, and providing awareness of their legal rights and responsibilities in Canada. It will be a safe space for men to ask questions, share feelings and experiences, and network with others in the community.

           BOARD CHAIR MESSAGE PCHS Manitoba started off as a dream shared by like-minded South Asian health and wellness practitioners. Systemic barriers are challenging to navigate when addressing the needs of diverse communities such as the South Asian Community. There was a demonstrated gap between the services currently available, and the capacity of the South Asian Community to engage in these services. Differences in cultural and religious practices, and socio-economic factors dependent on the lifestyle of new immigrants are barriers to providing impactful and meaningful services. PCHS MB is determined to address these barriers as the organization grows and expands in the coming years.

           It was a night to remember, as the Jets hosted South Asian Heritage Night last season!

  &lt;p&gt;&#xD;
