Mental health advocacy and making mental health services accessible and affordable is one of the most remarkable selfless activities carried out by Manasi.
When faced with the hurdle of struggling to seek help when battling with her own mental health, Manasi realised the lack of affordable and accessible mental health resources across India. Through this, she understood the importance of non-judgemental spaces to share freely and safely.
Impacting over 50,000 lives through her non-profit, the Huesofthemind Foundation, Manasi has created an empathetic community for people to support, learn and cope together. In collaboration with over 200 stakeholders, Huesofthemind has delivered innovative campaigns, projects and events globally.
She has personally delivered 100+ sessions nationwide and globally to encourage an emphasis on mental health support. Her work during the COVID-19 pandemic was recognised and awarded by the former Health Secretary of India at the IHW Digital Health Awards.
Manasi has created an illustrated book, Hues of You, to help raise funds to make therapy more affordable. She has also been raising awareness through social media, reaching more than 1.2 million viewers in the past four years.
Manasi is an inspirational role model and is making a monumental difference within the mental health services landscape across India.
