Mental Health Counseling with Helplines- How It Works and How It Helps ft. Muktaa Mental Health Helpline
Trigger Warning- This episode contains references to domestic violence, suicide, anxiety and depression so please listen at your own discretion.
All of us go through many unfavourable situations and feel all kinds of emotions. Some of us have a support system but not everyone is so fortunate. This is where mental health helplines come in. The counsellors listen to you and provide the right guidance. Many women are unsure about reaching out to such helplines so in this episode I am speaking with a person who works with a mental health helpline called Muktaa.
Shreya Subbannavar is a Project Coordinator at Muktaa Mental Health Helpline. She is a Psychologist who practices using an eclectic but, mainly a Person Centred approach with some tools of Arts-Based Therapy as well. She was a crisis line responder for Aks Foundation for 5 years and has experience working with denotified tribes – focusing on their education and mental health as well.
We talk about how helplines work, how they can help you and how your privacy is protected. We also talk about how we as society can help people around us who might be going through certain challenges.
Please share this episode with someone who you feel might benefit from it.
