Girija Oak Instagram – We are happy to announce that Raintree Foundation established a first-of-its-kind Rural Mental Health Counselling Center in Velhe Taluka called ‘Manosarathi’. Actress Girija Oak Godbole inaugurated the centre. In addition to offering mental health counselling for community, a toll-free helpline number will also be made available for emergency support to the community. Abha Dandekar, Founder, Raintree Foundation said, “Our intent in setting up ‘Manosarthi’ is making available a safe and accessible space for the community to share their challenges and seek support for their emotional and psychological well-being.” Talking about the importance of awareness and accessibility of mental health services, Actress Girija Oak Godbole said, “We all need access to safe, inclusive spaces to share and express what we as individuals are going through. It’s not always possible to share these with our close ones, our partners, our families. Manosaarthi is Raintree Foundation’s initiative to address this gap. It is a safe space, unbiased, devoid of judgement centre where anyone from the community can come looking for grinded pathways to help all have equal access to mental health services.” #RaintreeFoundation #SustainableLandscapeManagment #GirijaOak #GirijaOakGodbole #CommunityMentalHealth
