Men's Mental Health Month 
June is celebrated as Men’s Mental Health Month. We at Project Mumbai would like to celebrate this with you, across June and July 2023.
We aim to create more awareness and outreach on mental well-being–especially of the male gender–and to dispel the commonly spread myth that men feel no pain.
In Hindi movies, we have often heard the line–Mard Ko Dard Nahin Hota.
Our effort is also to talk about this in the open and supporting us are several experts who will be part of some thought-provoking live sessions through our Instagram handle.
Kersi Chavda, Deepak Kashyap and Swapnil Pange, and people of eminence. But more importantly, people you can voice your concerns with.
Our Instagram handle PROJECT_MUMBAI will offer more information at all times as well.

MANASWIN - BANEGA MENTALLY FIT MUMBAI
Manaswin is our initiative to provide emotional counseling and support facilities to these police personnel.
The second phase aims to provide one on one counseling therapy opportunities to those who are recommended or in need.
The third phase is to reach out to families of the personnel, who are often collateral damage to the lifestyle of the police. This would involve the children as well.
The initiative–in-person sessions, both individual and group–would be complemented with Project Mumbai’s emotional well-being toll-free helpline SAMVAAD- 1800-102-4040. Trained and experienced counselors would be available from 8 am to 8 pm, ready to attend to queries and concerns emotional in nature, of the callers. The conversations shall remain confidential, as is expected of an ethical service.
Our objective is to reach out to each and every police member and family, with a vision of providing a safe and non-judgmental space for them to share their discomfort, distress, and dilemmas.
This comes under Project Mumbai’s larger agenda of Making Mumbai Emotionally Stronger and Resilient.
We also plan on focusing on family counseling as it helps maintain healthy functional family relationships. It will not just focus on adults but also children within the family who are directly and indirectly impacted by the various disturbing aspects of adult lives.
The Smiling Schools Project
An Initiative by Project Mumbai in Collaboration with the MCGM
A growing body of research shows that a negative school environment is directly related to poor student attendance. Moreover, it severely undermines students’ capacity to learn and dramatically increases the likelihood that they will develop significant psycho social problems over time. On the contrary, students receiving support from their teachers and peers are likely to have positive self-esteem and fewer depressive symptoms.

Nayi Disha: Prison Counselling
Nayi Disha is an initiative by Project Mumbai in partnership with District Central Prison, Mumbai to provide psychological support to people incarcerated in prison and staff of the facility. This is a one-of-a-kind initiative that extends emotional care to people in prison facilities. This project aims to provide emotionally safe places to incarcerated people who might help them reflect and process their thoughts and emotions. We take a two-pronged approach where we dedicate simultaneous efforts to create awareness and provide support through individual and group counseling sessions.
MENTAL HEALTH IS PRESERVED WEALTH. LET US TAKE A STEP FORWARD AS A SOCIETY
The Samvaad initiative by Project Mumbai which was initiated to reach out to 12 crore residents of Maharashtra, the toll free helpline for counselling with the government of Maharashtra, managed to reach out to over 24 states across India.
While the initiative’s attention remained focused mainly on Mumbai, we also realized that communities across Maharashtra were facing acute challenges too.
This is when Project Mumbai decided to extend the plan and make it a much more larger one.

Young Minds For Mental Health 2.0
#Adolescentmentalhealth has been a passion space for Project Mumbai. Our adolescent mental health initiative – #TheSmilingSchoolsProject, already in its second year, reaches out to approx. 10,000 adolescents across the #MumbaiMetropolitanRegion. Since the lockdown has affected the #studentadolescentcommunity so much with all the #uncertainties around exams, school ending, beginning of college, searching for jobs/internships, and navigating through one’s emotions, we thought it would help to have a mental health safe space for youth
- It will require a commitment of 1 hour a week, across the months of June, July and August with a total of 10 hours
- We will be accepting 20-25 young minds in each age group on a first come first serve basis
- At the end of the 10 hour peer support and training, each person will receive a Certificate of Completion from Project Mumbai
