Mind Piper
Our SaathNirbhar Story:
Mental wellness is a process and not a destination. Tamanna Edwards from Mind Piper began by saying “Our very core psychological concepts of safety, and security were completely shaken by COVID.”Mind Piper is a mental health organization focused on spreading awareness and helping people focus on their own mental well being.
By working at the individual, group and infrastructural levels, the professionals working at Mind Piper were able to reach out to more than 8000 people across Delhi. Counseling is not easy, especially when psychologists have to listen to stories of grief, death and trauma every hour of every day. This is our chance to celebrate the minds behind Mind Pipers who listened, and gave hope to everyone suffering.
About Us:
