While we believe that psycho-social help is as important as any other relief work during a time of crisis, a culture unfamiliar with the need for this service has sometimes hindered our efforts in reaching out to children and addressing their needs entirely.

After providing psycho-social help to 4100+ children and 4300+ adults over the last 2 months, there were some challenges we continued to face. These challenges highlight why we need to come together as a community and society to break through this trend and make mental health more known and accessible to all children.
