In 2021, we launched our first portal on mental health: www.indiagivesfoundation.org.We cover issues across the spectrum of mental health including information on psychiatric illnesses, substance abuse, suicide prevention, stress, depression, anxiety and more importantly wellbeing. Our content is available in 2 vernacular Indian languages in addition to English. We started a series of activities with the public to uncover the mental health issue through popular arts and painting. We ran many thematic events across the city of Bangalore and west Bengal to explore how views on mental health have been expressed through music, literature, painting, games, swimming and culture. Our aim is to provide children, caregivers and others with well-researched counselling that will help them make informed decisions on how to deal with mental health issues.
