In this podcast, we get to meet Poonam Jalan who is psychologist working with Your Dost – dost in Hindi means friend! Your Dost is an online wellness platform that provides a safe place for those in India and really – anywhere, to get the mental health care they need. While India continues to have a stigma associated with counseling and therapy – there is a VERY large need. Low estimates say that as many as 50 million Indians are in need of counseling and suffer from some form of mental illness. Your Dost is doing wonderful work and I’m so pleased to have one of their members talk with us.

You can learn more about them at: www.yourdost.com And we are now on twitter.
