Who We Are

Warm greetings, from the Presidents of the NJ Renaissance Lions and Leo Clubs!

We think it’s safe to say that these times are not the easiest, both physically as well as mentally. With the outbreak of COVID-19, we’ve seen families and friends go through multiple challenges while trying to maintain their previously “normal” lives. Whether it be due to boredom, stress, academic struggles, or home issues, the mental health of those we love are being tested, and we wanted to do something to ease their worries. Keeping this in mind, we, as well as our fellow leaders at the NJ Renaissance Lions and Leo Clubs, have put together this initiative with a prime focus on mental health of students around the globe. Thank you all, and we hope you enjoy being involved in and contributing towards this effort, as much as we do!

Why Choose Us?

My name is Anjana Ashokchari, and I am the President of a non-profit organization named NJ Renaissance Leo Club. Mental health is so important, especially during times of distress, like our current situation involving COVID-19. Each individual copes with their struggles differently. For example, I love to dance as well as spend time with my family if I am ever feeling down. However, some people don’t exactly have an outlet to express their feelings. So, I wanted to create this initiative, to reach and engage students to speak up about their challenges in an attempt to help alleviate these stress-causing factors. By inviting professionals from various fields to help provide their guidance on how we can cope and deal with a variety of these challenges, I feel that this initiative is going to help make a big difference for students throughout the globe.
