What We Do

1. Research for Social Justice

We conduct interdisciplinary, accessible research focused on:

  • Caste-based emotional and psychological trauma
  • Institutional discrimination
  • Mental health outcomes across caste lines
  • Barriers to care for marginalized communities
  • Collective and community-based healing practices
  • Anti-caste justice frameworks

Our research informs:

  • Mental health practice
  • Education and training
  • Policy advocacy
  • Public understanding
  • Community empowerment

2. Public Education & Advocacy

We create learning spaces that dismantle caste conditioning and build emotional awareness through:

 

  • Caste-Away Conversations
  • Anti-caste reading circles
  • School and college sensitization programs
  • Workshops for mental health professionals
  • Multilingual digital content and campaigns

3. Community Healing & Support Spaces

Our healing spaces are non-clinical, community-rooted, and trauma-aware.

  • Support circles for Dalit, Adivasi, Bahujan individuals
  • Dalit-ND Reflection Circle
  • Milir Walks (nature-based group healing)
  • Online mental health support for marginalized people
  • Gender and caste-based group reflections

4. Training & Capacity Building

We offer caste-sensitive training for:

  • Therapists and counsellors
  • Educators and institutions
  • NGOs and community leaders
  • Workplaces and organisations

Key themes include caste-informed care, power and privilege awareness, ethical practice, and inclusive policy design.

5. Policy Influence & Systems Change

We engage with institutions and policymakers to reimagine systems through a mental health and justice lens—beyond surface-level reform.
