Karisma Kapoor supports mental health initiative

Karisma addressed the students encouraging them to make the world a mental health friendly place. She was seen enjoying the company of all the young school children and intently listening to what they had to share about mental health. She was very impressed with the levels of creativity shown by all the children and encouraged them all to become champions of the mental health movement. The children participated in competitions across dance movement therapy, street plays, photography, filmmaking, singing, research proposal poster competition and writing.

Mpower, founded by Mrs. Neerja Birla aims to be the movement that affects change and destigmatize mental health issues in India.
