Finding Peace in the Noise
A dedicated space for mental wellness, cultural dialogue, and healing within the Southeast Asian community.
From Sukoon comes Serenity
The name ‘Pursukoon’ reflects our core belief in finding inner peace and tranquility amidst life’s challenges. ‘Pursukoon’ is derived from the Arabic word ‘پرسکون’ (pronounced pur-suh-koon), which translates to 'tranquil' or 'peaceful' in English.
Our podcast began with a shared vision among a group of passionate individuals from the Southeast Asian community who recognised the urgent need to address mental health challenges in our midst.
Drawing from our own personal journeys, cultural backgrounds and scientific research, we came together to create a platform that celebrates resilience, promotes open dialogue, and provides valuable insights into navigating social, psychological, and mental well-being. Our mission is rooted in empathy and a deep understanding of the unique cultural dynamics that influence mental wellness in Southeast Asian contexts.
