Why Is It Relevant?
Mental health has always been an overlooked aspect of well-being in underprivileged communities. 1 in 20 people are a victim of depression in India. Mental health issues can hinder children’s ability to grow in life.
Educating locals will facilitate the creation of a supportive environment where everyone supports wellness. The campaign’s efforts also work for a broad social change by reducing stigma. It is an effort to create a culture of openness around mental health.
