“My name is Saniya, and I serve as the Mental Health Education Program Coordinator at Compeer Buffalo. I am deeply passionate about mental health and education, advocacy, and creating accessible spaces where people feel safe to learn, reflect, and grow. I believe in the importance of open, honest conversations about mental health and the power they have to reduce stigma and build understanding. 

With compassion I bring community-focused approach to my work, grounded in empathy, collaboration, and lived experience. I enjoy connecting with people from diverse backgrounds, facilitating meaningful discussions, and translating complex mental health topics into information that feels approachable and relevant. My goal is to empower individuals with knowledge while honoring their unique experiences.”
