Episode description

What is at the crux of Mental Health Care? How do we prepare and mitigate risks associated with mental distress? What is emotional well-being? How can we destigmatize 'mental illness' and encourage those who need help to proactively seek it? How easy or difficult is it to help a loved one in distress? 

Who better to answer these questions than a premiere organization working on Mental Health care and awareness in the metropolitan city of Bangalore, India? Joining us on this episode of 'Global Citizenship in Practice' is the enigmatic Mr. Manoj Chandran, Founding member, and CEO of the White Swan Foundation, a Bangalore-based non-profit organization that offers knowledge-led solutions in the area of mental health.  They provide persons with mental illness, caregivers, and communities with well-researched information that helps make informed decisions on how to deal with mental health issues. Their mission, “To deliver knowledge services for mental health and wellbeing”, resonates with us deeply, and we are thrilled to be partnering with them in our small endeavors towards promoting UN - SDG 3, Good Health and WellBeing. 

Happy Listening!
