Mental Health Drives
Voicing out problems and removing the taboo surrounding mental health.
Mental health is one of our main concerns. We try to voice out the problems faced by people every day and remove the taboo surrounding mental health. Kalki Foundation has conducted 6 major mental health awareness events, engaging with over 2500+ participants. We were honored to be invited to DPS Varanasi to talk about mental health. The drive was organized on the 8th of August at D.P.S. Varanasi.
Pratima Yadav, a valuable member of the NGO, prepared a quality speech on the prominence of mental health in children reaching adolescence along with relevant slides. The seminar took place in the M.F. Hall of DPS Varanasi, where the students of classes 6 to 8 actively participated and learned how to manage stress and anxiety and take care of one’s mental health.
AAROGYA: Breaking Barriers is our flagship mental health symposium designed to tackle the escalating challenges of student depression, academic stress, and suicide prevention. Hosted at BHU, this landmark event brought together esteemed professors, mental health professionals, and over 500 students for an open dialogue on mental well-being. By integrating expert panel discussions with powerful artistic expressions—such as a thematic dance performance by the Taalasya group and a deeply moving skit by Rangshala—AAROGYA successfully bridged the gap between clinical advice and emotional resonance, leaving a lasting impact on the campus community.
