Passionate psychologist dedicated to mental health innovation and community empowerment.
IndiaI am a psychologist with a deep passion for developing and scaling programs that address the immense burden of mental health disorders and other unique challenges in India and beyond by leveraging digital tools, culturally tailored strategies, and scalable solutions. With experience integrating climate resilience, capacity building, and community engagement into public health initiatives, I have collaborated with diverse stakeholders, including primary healthcare workers, educational institutions, ICMR, WHO SEARO, and the Governments of India and Bhutan.
I played a key role in implementing training programs for over 18,500 stakeholders, designing and delivering interventions that empower communities to recognize and address mental health needs at the grassroots level. Committed to 'health for all,' I aim to leverage public-private partnerships, systemic policy changes, and international insights to design equitable healthcare programs and achieve universal health coverage.
My work includes initiating and completing the preparatory and pilot phases of an implementation research study on suicide risk reduction and improving mental wellbeing among students aged 15-25 years. I have also contributed to several publications, including manuals and guidelines on mental health care, and have presented research papers at various conferences. I am skilled in program development, stakeholder engagement, and digital capacity building, with a strong focus on mental health training and policy development.
