Humna Ashfaq
I am a Registered Social Worker (RSW) with a Bachelor of Social Work from York University, with experience in Ontario Works, crisis intervention, mental health, and community support. I am passionate about creating accessible and culturally responsive spaces that promote mental wellness, empowerment, and connection. As a young leader in my community, I am committed to using my experiences and skills to advocate for underserved communities, support women experiencing housing instability, and inspire positive change. Through my work and Siratal Wellness, I hope to continue building initiatives that strengthen communities and make wellness more accessible to everyone.
Siratal Wellness
Siratal Wellness is a community mental wellness and education organization dedicated to making accessible, trauma-informed wellness support available to underserved communities. Initially focusing on women experiencing housing instability, Siratal Wellness provides psychoeducational workshops, wellness programming, and supportive resources that promote resilience, coping skills, empowerment, and connection. Through partnerships with community organizations and mental health professionals, Siratal Wellness aims to bridge the gap between survival-focused services and the emotional well-being of individuals and communities.
