Our Work: Mental Health
"It's Okay to be not Okay" Under the umbrella of People For Action, ?NamaH? is a dedicated initiative focused on mental well-being, ensuring that individuals have access to the right guidance, support, and emotional resilience. Our key areas of intervention include: 1) 24/7 Free Anonymous Counseling Service: Your own free 24 hours helpline that deals with mental health issues. 2 out of 3 people are living in Silence and isolation because they do not know where and how to seek support for their mental health. NamaH helpline deals with the ongoing mental health pandemic in India. Just call us and let yourself free...it's confidential, it preserves your privacy and anonymity. More than half of people with mental illness don't receive help for their disorders. Often, people avoid or delay seeking treatment due to concerns about being treated differently or fears of losing their jobs and livelihood. That's because stigma, prejudice and discrimination against people with mental illness is still very much a problem. Therefore, we are here for you. Research shows that knowing or having contact with someone with mental illness is one of the best ways to reduce stigma. Individuals speaking out and sharing their stories can have a positive impact. When we know someone with mental illness, it becomes less scary and more real and relatable. As you may be aware, in India, people's access to mental healthcare is one of the worst in the world. "NamaH" - first of its kind 24/7 free anonymous counselling lifeline for mental health which is getting a great response from the community. We aim at providing a safe haven, support system and solution to our anonymous callers suffering with psychological issues with facilities like timely screening along with quality follow up treatment under certified psychologists. We are getting almost 120 calls a day- and mostly 2/3 out of 10 callers need clinical assistance where we connect them to certified Hospitals for support. We firmly believe in, "It is Okay to be not Okay" and we hope to send this message to every individual who needs help and support. With a team of 40 trained psychologists we provide anonymous, professional, and compassionate support, making mental health care accessible to all. 2. Mental Health Workshops in Schools & Corporates: Recognizing the importance of emotional well-being, People For Action conducts specialized mental health workshops across 140 schools and the top 25 corporates. These sessions equip students and professionals with practical strategies to manage emotions, cope with stress, and build mental resilience in their daily lives. Through NamaH, People For Action is fostering a culture where mental health is prioritized, stigma is reduced, and individuals feel empowered to seek support whenever needed. 3. People For Action Presents "Art Yatra" - A Journey of Expression and Healing People For Action proudly organized its first-ever Art Camp, ?Art Yatra? bringing together India?s top painters to use art as a medium of emotional expression and solidarity. The theme, ?It?s Okay Not to Be Okay,? emphasized the importance of mental health and the power of creativity in healing and self-acceptance. Through live painting sessions, collaborative artworks, and discussions, artists showcased how art can be a voice for emotions that words often fail to express. "Art Yatra" served as a platform for conversations on mental well-being, encouraging individuals to embrace vulnerability and seek support when needed. This initiative reaffirmed People For Action?s commitment to using art as a tool for social change fostering a deeper understanding of mental health, and inspiring a more compassionate society.
