What happens when stress, emotional pain, and depression start feeling too heavy to handle alone?

In this episode of “Solla marandha Kathai” on TAL Radio Tamil, RJ Bala speaks with Dr. Vetrivel , Ph.D., Charter Director, Nesam Foundation, about mental health, emotional distress, self-harm, and the importance of reaching out for help.

Dr. Vetrivel explains why we often feel that “my problem is only mine”, how this mindset can prevent us from seeking support, and why having someone who simply listens can make a difference.

He also shares the story behind Love Service, a free support service created to provide a safe, compassionate space for people going through difficult emotional situations. Having supported 5,000+ people, the service aims to remind us that no one has to face their struggles alone.

Sometimes, we don't need immediate solutions.
Sometimes, we just need someone to listen without judgment.

Guest: Dr. Vetrivel V. Ph.D.
Charter Director, Nesam

What happens when art meets environmental activism?
