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.

Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. For some, it's managing symptoms and moving forward. For others, it's rebuilding relationships. For many, it's learning self-compassion. Recovery isn’t linear. But hope, community, and evidence-based support make it possible.

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.

Substance use is often rooted in pain we don’t see. Before you judge, ask what someone might be carrying. #MentalHealthSupport #TraumaInformedCare #WorldDrugDay.

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.

Eating disorders aren’t a choice. They’re a mental health challenge often hidden behind smiles and silence. Let’s break the stigma. Let’s talk. #EatingDisorderAwareness #BodyImage #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.
