MENTAL HEALTH, INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY & CREATIVE EXPRESSION

Mental Health For All Ages & All Sections Of the Society

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

With this aim in mind we have conducted numerous individual and group therapy interventions for a populace from 8 years of age to 80. Our interventions have addressed various emotional and psycho-social concerns like:

Depression, Trauma, Stress, Anxiety, Physical & Emotional Abuse, LGBTQ+, Body Image, Self Esteem, Relationship/Intimacy, Personality Disorders, Speech Disorders, Addictions, Grief, Life Purpose & Meaning, Geriatric & Aging Issues, Resilience, Existential Crisis and others.

We have conducted workshops & seminars on Mental Health & Emotional Wellbeing at schools, colleges, companies, NGOs, communities, summits, festivals etc.

‘Explore, Express, Evolve : The Quest’ which is our Mental Health & Creative Expression Initiative for all ages has been recognized internationally by Global Goodwill Ambassadors Foundation (USA).

Each lifespan development stage and every section of the society has diverse and different psychological and mental health needs (with few being common for all). Taking stock of this, we have customized and curated interventions to address their needs with an inclusive and integrated strategy that promotes safe, productive and fulfilling lives. A mentally healthy community supports and nurtures individuals and families through empowering people to develop the environments that promote subjective wellbeing, optimal development, the use of skills, and the achievement of individual and collective goals.

We have also promoted Community Mental Health Awareness & Sensitization by :

Initiating free awareness camps at NGOs
Ideating street plays on topics like depression & suicide prevention
Conceptualizing and supporting art competitions on themes of mental health
