The Mental Wellness Program (MWP) was launched by JDF in response to the growing global mental health crisis, including rising cases of depression, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies.
This program aims to provide individuals help in self-knowing, mental detoxification, and a deeper connection with nature, fostering a life of clarity and well-being.
The program’s approach is rooted in providing a space for introspection, healing, and self-knowing, promoting clarity and peace in participants' lives.
Who Is It For?
MWP is designed for individuals seeking to overcome:
- Depression and feelings of frustration.
- Anxiety and stress due to personal or professional challenges.

Our past data shows that this program has been particularly beneficial for young adults, students, and corporate professionals.
