Mental Health

Mental health is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Over 300 million people worldwide suffer from depression, and 700,000 lives are lost to suicide annually, making it the second-leading cause of death among young individuals aged 15-29. The rising stress, loneliness, and lack of emotional support systems have contributed to a global mental health crisis.

At JDF, we believe that mental health issues emerge stem from ignorance and a lack of self-knowledge. By helping individuals explore themselves and addressing their inner conflicts, we aim to create lasting solutions to these challenges.

Why We Work on Mental Health

Addressing Alarming Trends

77% of people experience stress that affects their health, with 91% of Indians reporting stress over finances, work, or relationships.

Breaking the Stigma

Mental health remains stigmatized, leading many to suffer in silence.

Preventing Crisis

Suicide prevention and early intervention are critical to saving lives.

Our Approach

We use a compassionate, inquiry-based approach to promote self-awareness and mental well-being. For severe cases like suicide risks, our dedicated team provides timely interventions. All our services are completely free, driven by our commitment to humanity.
