BAM TALKS: Recent Episodes
BAMTALKS
BAM TALKS is a community interest company taking the time to talk about the taboos faced in the British Asian community.
We engage with specialists who inform and guide you in the right direction. We are a community led company with the aims to support one another.
The pandemic has affected every single part of people's lives. Hearing Simran's story about how she had to postpone her wedding and the toll this took on her mental health is something we should all be aware of and ensure we can provide suitable support for ourselves/friends/family.

Hi everyone, I know it’s been a while since our last talk... but this is worth the wait!
Sexual health is such a taboo subject in not only the Asian Community but in society more generally. For this talk, I spoke to Elyssa at Brook about sexual health being taught in schools and how different communities often react.

Today's talk about fertility and egg freezing has been incredibly educational and insightful.
Egg freezing is such a taboo subject in the Asian community, and there is often so much pressure put on young women to get married and have children as young as possible. Which is why at BAM we thought it was so important to share with you valuable information on the range of options and services that are available to you!
We hope you enjoy this insightful talk and make sure to share, like and comment below. ❤️

“If you think about your sprain in that way, you should think about your brain in the same way”
Hey Everyone! We will be kicking off our Health Series with a talk on Mental health in Lockdown.
We are well aware Lockdown has impacted everyone’s lives and importantly our health, it’s important to note that the vast majority of us have had our mental health impacted by the pandemic. This talk is to help educate you, give you some pro tips and also just to make you feel OKAY! It is totally normal to feel low or strange right now but we must adjust to a new way of living and we can do this together :)
