OUR PROJECTS

We are dedicated to improving mental health by raising awareness, reducing stigma, and providing accessible support since 2017. Our projects include community outreach, education, advocacy, counseling services, support groups, and crisis intervention. We partner with local organizations to create a supportive network and offer training for mental health professionals to enhance their skills and knowledge. Through evidence-based programs and ongoing research, we strive to ensure that mental well-being is prioritized and accessible to all.

Psychological First Aid

Designed by professionals with more than 15 years of extensive experience in the field of emotional care and well-being, we started delivering first aid programs in 2020 and continue to do so till date.

We have collaborated with Child Care Institutions where the program has benefitted 700+ children, 300+ caregivers, and 160+ social workers. We have delivered programs in Latur, Begusarai, Cochin, Thrissur, Rourkela, Guwahati, Jammu, Hojai, Greenfield, Bhubaneshwar, Bhopal, Srinagar, Bawana, Faridabad, Puducherry, Bhimtal, Raipur and Shillong.

As emotional distress became more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, the program adopted from certain renowned empirically proven techniques such as neuro-linguistic programming, eye movement desensitization, reprocessing, acceptance therapy, narrative therapy, Yoga, etc. The techniques are used to regulate their negative emotions, create emotional stability, break overthinking patterns, and build positive relationships. The program leads to significant reduction in levels of symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression as well as a significant increase in the levels of self-efficacy of participants.

Workshops and Support Groups

Trauma Focussed Support Groups

Our team of internationally certified practitioners are equipped to cater to traumas of different kinds, PTSD, fears, stress, depression, etc. The camps can be organized in multiple community settings and aim to provide top-notch assistance to people who require support but are unable to obtain it otherwise.

Anxiety and Fear Management Program

The program has been conducted for 200+ individuals within a group setup virtually. For those experiencing immense fear, terror, grief and heightened negative emotions, our team of mental health professionals created a short yet highly effective program to relieve people of intense emotions related to specific traumatic events.

Stress Relief Workshops

Conducted free of cost in more than 10+ institutions with 1300+ students and teachers in Delhi. Stress relief workshops are essential for students due to the academic pressures they face, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and burnout. The techniques and tools teach students and teachers how to manage stress, improve their mental and physical health, and enhance academic performance. By investing in stress relief workshops, educational institutions can help their students succeed academically and personally.

Assessments

As an initial step, we conduct psychological assessments to identify and address mental health concerns. It involves evaluating thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to determine the most appropriate type of treatment. We offer psychological assessments for a range of conditions, including intellectual and developmental abilities, learning disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, psychological disorders like anxiety and mood disorders, personality assessment, and behavioral issues.

Psychological Interventions and Therapy

We provide psychological therapy, trauma counseling and group work for children, adolescents, and young adults who face various social, emotional & behavioural challenges. We also provide trauma counseling for adults, parents, teachers and professionals dealing with children on a day to basis.

TRAUMA COUNSELING

Trauma counseling involves various therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). EMDR helps individuals let go of distressing thoughts and feelings related to traumatic experiences and is effective in treating conditions such as PTSD, phobias, panic disorder, anxiety, depression, grief, and personality disorders. Similarly, EFT is a clinically proven technique used to work on psychological and emotional issues, promote relaxation and healing, and effectively resolve traumas experienced by clients. It can be used to work on a range of issues, including stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms, phobias, beliefs, and troubling memories.

PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY

The psychological therapies offered include behaviour modification, which aims to reduce maladaptive behaviours in children and adults by identifying the antecedent and consequences of the problem behaviour(s) and manipulating certain variables through reinforcers; play therapy, which uses play as a medium of expression for children to explore their emotions and gain insights into their problems, and expressive arts therapy, which is a multimodal approach combining psychology and the creative process to promote personal growth and healing through visual art, music, dance/movement, writing, play, and drama. These therapies are effective for a range of mental health issues in children, adolescents, and young people, such as anxiety, phobias, trauma, and behavioural or conduct issues.

GROUP WORK

Group sessions offer a supportive and safe environment for people with similar experiences to come together and learn from each other. The group sessions provided include a space for teenagers with mood disorders to interact, support groups for children and adolescents with social communication difficulties to learn social skills, and a wellbeing group initiative using expressive arts therapy for pre-teens, adolescents, and young adults to explore self-expression.

These sessions can be conducted both online and offline and guided by trained mental health care professionals. We also curate support groups on a need basis.

EARLY INTERVENTION AND NEURODEVELOPMENTAL WORK

Our Early Intervention Services focus on identifying and addressing developmental delays in infants and toddlers. Meanwhile, our Occupational Therapy programs aim to enhance everyday skills to promote independence. Our Special Education programs provide personalized instruction to students with disabilities, and our Speech and Language Therapy helps children with communication and language difficulties.

Our team of experts work closely to create tailored plans that target specific goals and requirements, with the ultimate aim of maximizing potential and achieving positive outcomes.

Psychiatric Services

We provide a range of treatments for children and adolescents after an assessment and diagnosis such as pharmacotherapy, biomedical interventions, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy and special diets, nutritional supplements and chelation therapy. So far, we have extended our interventions to Lucknow, Calcutta, Guwahati, and Imphal.

The National Mental Health Survey in India found that 83% of people with mental health problems do not receive any treatment, particularly in rural areas with a shortage of mental health professionals. We aim to increase access to psychiatric services in tier 2 and 4 cities by increasing mental health professionals, raising awareness, and implementing community-based interventions. The expected outcomes include increased access, reduced treatment gap, and improved mental health outcomes in these areas.

Trainings and Capacity Building

Upskilling Community Mental Health Professionals: Despite an increase in mental health awareness and the number of mental health professionals in many countries, including India, the quality of mental health services can often be superficial. We thus collaborate with organizations to upskill their staff, psychologists, and mental health personnel to equip them with a diverse skill set.
Delivering care in areas affected by political violence: is a critical aspect of mental health care. In these areas, individuals may experience trauma, anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns as a result of the violence they have experienced. We provide trained psychologists and mental health professionals to deliver care in these areas. Our goal is to provide individuals with the support and resources they need to cope with the impact of political violence on their mental health and overall well-being. By addressing the mental health needs of those affected by political violence, we aim to help them recover and rebuild their lives.

Parenting

PARENTING & CHILD CARE PROGRAM

Our professionals can deliver the Responsible Childcare program to parents of different socio economic status, cultures and children of various age groups throughout India. 5000+ parents, 1000+ caretakers and 500+ teachers have previously attended parenting workshops and benefitted from the skills.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR PARENTS

Individual sessions (delivered to 100+ parents) focussed on personal development for parents to ensure self-awareness, developing new skills, and promoting self-care. By prioritizing their own growth and well-being, parents can create a positive environment for their children and model healthy behavior.

Parenting can pose a range of demanding and challenging situations that can lead to high levels of stress and emotional burden for parents. Fortunately, therapy can provide them with the tools to effectively manage their emotions and develop healthy coping strategies. Establishing good communication skills is paramount in cultivating healthy parent-child relationships, and therapy can help parents better comprehend and respond to their child's needs and concerns. Furthermore, customizing parenting strategies to suit the child's individual temperament can enhance the quality of the parent-child relationship. Parents who have undergone traumatic experiences can also benefit from psychological interventions to address past traumas, thereby enabling them to become more responsive to their child's needs.
