The Indian Mental Health Summit: A Resounding Success

The Indian Mental Health Summit (IMHS) 2.0 made waves at The Beatle Hotel, Powai, Mumbai, bringing together over 300 professionals, students, and advocates to celebrate advancements in mental health.

The event featured five dynamic panels: Rehab & New Age Drugs, Forensic & Criminal Psychology, Indian Psychology, Sexuality & Sexual Wellness, and Body Modification Surgery and Beyond. These discussions, led by industry pioneers, fostered deep insights and inspired innovation in the field.

Interactive stalls showcased cutting-edge tools, while networking opportunities allowed attendees to explore career pathways and forge meaningful connections.

This milestone was made possible thanks to our stellar team, esteemed speakers, and sponsors like Samarpan De-addiction Center, Life Hetu, and others, who believed in our vision.

IMHS is just getting started. Together, we’re creating a transformative movement to empower mental health professionals and prioritize well-being across India. Let’s keep building this community!

The event was curated by leading psychologists Purvi Shah, Farida Soni, Jahanvi Agrawal, Bhakti Joshi, and Pritha Saha Dutta.
