The Power of Outreach

This includes our efforts in the space of outreach to reach out to communities who have been marginalized, underserved or neglected, not just when it comes to Mental Health awareness but also when it comes to issues around social justice. By curating a range of events/ activities, organizing on-ground support, and taking conversations about emotional wellbeing to the grassroots, we are looking at empowering communities with coping skills, awareness and a better understanding of themselves and those around them.

All the content is tailormade and designed keeping in mind a range of settings be it academic institutions, corporates, charities, and audiences including students, parents and guardians, educators, leadership teams, business executives, and administrators.
