Скачать или смотреть Building Bridges in Rural India: How Communities Can Transform Mental Health Awareness

In urban homes, mental health conversations are becoming easier. Parents are increasingly aware, educated, and open to understanding their children’s emotional needs.
But in rural India, the journey requires a different kind of bridge — one built through community, trust, and collaboration.

In this video, I talk about how we can strengthen mental-health awareness at the grassroots level by involving the people and systems already embedded in rural life:

Anganwadi workers

ASHA workers

Local NGOs

Panchayats and community leaders

Partnerships with Rotary, Lions, and medical colleges

When these groups unite, they become powerful advocates for early identification, emotional support, and awareness.

Ultimately, lasting change begins at home.
When families normalize conversations about emotion, stress, and wellbeing, society undergoes a quiet but profound transformation.
It starts with awareness — and grows through community.
