An institute of mental health will launch a helpline on Wednesday morning to help people cope mentally with disease and death.
The helpline — 1800-891-3021 — will be active from 9am to 9pm, seven days a week. People from across the country can call to share their anxieties, problems and feelings with a mental health professional, free of cost.
“In our present uncertain situation, so many people are struggling with stress, anxiety and depression. We wanted to make our community feel supported, to tell them that they are not alone.The toll-free helpline will provide a safe, non-judgemental, and completely confidential environment for anyone to share their innermost fears and feelings,” said psychotherapist Minu Budhia, the founder-director of Caring Minds, which has launched the helpline.
