Sending vibes

The MindClan

Curate your digital feed to learn more about the importance and impact of mental health on your overall wellness. Here are four platforms that offer information on mental well-being and resources like profiles of clinical therapists and counseling psychologists, books and other tools. But remember, online content is not therapy, so do seek professional help when needed.

1. The MindClan
This platform was inspired by the founders' struggles in finding help for themselves and their loved ones. The website offers curated pan-India profiles of therapists, support groups and mental health events that have been verified. They also have a section of stories and information on how to speak to a therapist or a loved one facing mental health worries, and a prep sheet for your first therapy session.

2. AtEase
The platform specialises in inclusive offerings that cater to women and non-binary individuals, through a list of services that include psychiatric consultation, individual, couples and family therapy, and wellness webinars. They've also recently started support groups including support for people living with Borderline Personal Disorder and body image issues, those facing workplace stress, and a queer support group that talks about coming out and the anxiety and stress associated with acceptance and vulnerability.

3. Therapize
If you're looking for a long list of verified therapists across India, this should be a go-to. The website includes a therapist-approved guide to managing anxiety, available for purchase. It includes tools to use when overwhelmed, a workbook of prompts and exercises to help get out of an anxious loop, and more.

4. The Thought Co.
Head here for reliable information on all things mental health. Often, it gets difficult to understand our own worries and emotions without the correct vocabulary, perspective and knowledge. It's also easy to overlook issues and unconsciously sweep them under the carpet. But we deserve better, especially when it comes to our mental well-being. A scan through The Thought Co. social media pages will provide snippets of information that might resonate with you or help you introspect and express. Give it a try.
