The Mental Health Campaign

We use radio to address the silence and stigma surrounding mental health issues. Given the stigma to speak about mental health, and to reach out to professionals for help, the privacy and anonymity of radio allows our listeners to call in and talk to psychologists in our studio during live phone-in programs every week.

Udaan, is a weekly Live Phone-In show in partnership with counselor Satish Kaushik and a host of psychologists. The weekly program features Mr Kaushik and a counselor taking on a range of mental health issues across age groups.

The Migration Campaign

Migrants are one of our key target audience since inception. Issues of migration and building a positive narrative around rural-to-urban migration is important to us. Our programs on migration are focussed on building conversations that encourage communities to be supportive of each other, and accepting of each other’s cultural practices. Through our program series Saara Aasmaan Hamara (The Sky Is Ours Too) we feature first person narratives by people from our community telling their journey from their village to Gurgaon and their experiences along the way.
