In the end we all wish to live a happier, healtheir and a more fulfilling lives and create a society and culture that enables everyone fulfill this wish. We spend time, money, resources and build skills that we hope will enable us to achieve this and yet most people continue to ignore the one aspect of our life that can help us achieve this in the fastest way possible, OUR MENTAL HEALTH.

With your help

We have worked with more than 25,000 beneficiaries

Since its incorporation in December 2018, ICHARS Support Foundation has been able to support a large number of people through a variety of innovative and highly effective methods. These include one-to-one counselling sessions, group therapy sessions, talk-it-out groups, workshops, knowledge series and tie-ups with other NGOs

Worked with and Trusted by many NGOs

Working together enables us to reach out to a wider audience and focus on what we specialize in. Over the years we have worked with multiple NGOs with an objective to either help them offer mental health services to their beneficiaries or to be able to spread the word about their work.
