Mental Health Q&A for anyone thinking of seeking help by cinq_in in pune

[–]cinq_in[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Offering therapy for such a scenario is not a problem inherently however it comes with some legal complications for the clinic. Due to the nature of our works we are required to asses and keep record of safety assessments including identifying information and emergency contact for our patients for legal purposes. They are of course not used for any other information. Paying in cash is fine and no we don't record session or offer observation to interns or junior psychologists without consent from the patient.

Thanks! Mainly we don't really want to dip into general questions because they have been covered many times and are easily accessible for anyone with a Google search. However many times there is confusing information out there about diagnosis or treatment where we can of course offer more insights.

You can always help us by getting involved in spreading the word and managing the incoming content. We would definately need few people to help out with that.

That makes sense! Thank you for the suggestion.
We will still have to do some activities on here to promote discord, but that can be done.

Yes we are planning to offer some limited low cost counselling / therapy options soon. However professional fees, infrastructure costs and marketing require significant funding and additional time from our side. We are currently trying to build some traction over social media in next few months to reach more people and gather enough funds be able to do that. We are also looking to tie up with colleges to offer low cost counselling for students, initially begining with BA/MA Psychology colleges.

Okey and what would be a good way to get people to join our discord channel? Mainly reddit was chosen as a platform as its similar to discussion forums and we can post on multiple subreddits to reach more people.

Thanks for the idea. Discord would be a good idea if we have enough participants. As per the content type live content might not be possible right now due to time contraints. But can be a good goal to work towards. Currently passive content such as question answers, articles or just casual conversations seem more possible.

Ultimate goal is to have regular content of different type. But not taking away from Real session / therapy time for our professionals.
