Mental health is grossly neglected and overlooked by most people. But how could things change for the good? The same curiosity led founders, Shivam Dixit and Bobby Thakur to start Counsel India as an NGO back in 2016. At its nascent stage, Counsel India covered 100+ villages, govt. schools, remand homes, juvenile homes and orphanages to spread awareness regarding the importance of mental health and conducted counselling sessions for them. Soon they realized that there was so much in this field to work upon and fix. The taboo around the subject had to be broken. The problems seemed to be way more than the people who could help you with them. So, they jumped right on the opportunity to take the charge.
