Chisem Initiatives
Creative, culturally grounded ways to open the conversation.
Each initiative meets people where they are — through story, self-reflection, culture, and community.

About Me Podcast
A storytelling platform where individuals share experiences, challenges, and healing journeys related to mental well-being. Real voices, in their own words — the kind of honest conversation that reminds us we’re not alone.

དྲི་བ་གཉིས་གསུམ། / 23Q
A self-inquiry series using 23 reflective questions to encourage personal growth, clarity, and authentic self-expression. There’s no wrong answer — just space to notice what’s true for you.

MY ཁུག་མ།
A cultural and lifestyle series featuring Tibetan influencers and community voices through the lens of everyday personal items. It’s a warm, human way to connect culture, identity, and well-being.
The object
A guest shares an everyday item they carry — a bead, a photo, a worn notebook.
The story
The memory, identity, and meaning tucked inside it — in their own words.
The thread
How culture and well-being hold each other up, one item at a time.

Annual Review
A youth reflection practice that encourages accountability, self-awareness, goal-setting, and personal growth. Our Annual Review initiative helps youth reflect on their growth, goals, choices, and next steps.
