What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop mental health programs and provide impactful counselling services.

I am a dedicated mental health counsellor with over five years of experience in child counselling, adolescent counselling, and mental health program management. My journey has taken me through various roles, including Program Coordinator at NCARE, where I developed programs focused on social behavior change and maternal mental health. I have a strong commitment to improving mental health awareness and practices within communities.

Throughout my career, I have conducted numerous training sessions for parents, teachers, and students, emphasizing the importance of mental health and positive parenting. My work with organizations like Vartaaman Care Network Foundation and Breakfree Foundation has allowed me to lead counselling initiatives and train volunteers in effective mental health strategies. I am passionate about creating supportive environments for children and adolescents to thrive.
