Reconnect Youth

Reconnect Youth is a mental health initiative founded and spearheaded by Dr. Ritu Gupta and supported by a team of youth leaders for counselling, coaching adolescents, teenagers and their parents to help them deal with various psychological issues faced by them in today’s scenario.

Under this initiative the children and young adults are encouraged to come out with their concerns, fears and dilemmas about self confidence, body image, insecurities, parental & peer pressures, relationship issues, media abuse, substance abuse, sexuality etc. which impact their day to day life. Talking about these issues and sharing them with trustworthy people with expertise, can go a long way in prevention of mental illnesses like anxiety disorder, depression, suicidal ideation, stress disorder etc.

Reconnect youth is committed to building a society where young people can understandthemselves and help them regain their lost potential to make the right decisions at every step of their young age. Reconnect Youth aims to ensure their healthy psychosocial development so that they can balance their transition from child to adulthood and their lives are back on the track.

– To create awareness of the existing psychological issues and how to seek help

– To connect them the consultant/counsellor for therapy or coaching/counselling.

– To assist in expanding the team of youth leaders and their active participation
