Being Present as a Friend.You don’t need the perfect words. You just need to be present. “Sitting with you made me feel lighter.”.Friendship heals in silence, too. #PeerSupport #MHFAIndia #FriendshipDay.

Why don’t students ask for help?.Because “Kya sochenge sab?” (What will they think?).still shouts louder than.“Kya haal hai?” (How are you?).It's time to make empathy louder than stigma. #EndTheStigma #YouthMentalHealth #MHFAIndia.

You don’t need to have all the answers to support someone in recovery. Listening, showing up, and being non-judgmental, that’s where it starts. #SupportNotStigma #WorldDrugDay #MHFAIndia.

Social media doesn’t define beauty. Real bodies aren’t filters. Real confidence is knowing your worth isn’t skin-deep. #BodyImage #DigitalDetox #EatingDisorderAwareness.

Not all eating disorders look the same. If you notice a friend withdrawing, obsessing over food, or constantly body-shaming themselves, check in. Quiet support saves lives. #BodyPositivity #EarlySupport #MHFAIndia.

Stop asking, “Can they work?”.Start asking, “What support do they need to thrive at work?”.That’s the difference between tokenism and inclusion. #InclusiveWorkplaces #MentalHealthSupport.
