Our History
Bridging Minds began in 2021 as a community-based acute psychiatry care project launched during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Designed to respond to widespread emotional distress, isolation, and trauma, the initiative provided accessible psychological support, crisis counselling, and tele-mental health services for individuals and families navigating the uncertainties of the time. Throughout COVID-19 and the post-pandemic recovery period, Bridging Minds became a trusted lifeline—linking professional mental health care with compassionate community connection.
By 2024, the programme evolved into a broader framework of community psychology, addressing emerging needs around substance abuse, family support, and culturally responsive therapeutics. This expansion marked a shift from crisis response to sustainable, inclusive mental health promotion, integrating trauma-informed and culture-aware approaches into every aspect of care.
In 2025, Bridging Minds entered a new phase as a fully developed community and professional network under the Aarogyam ecosystem—connecting practitioners, educators, and communities to create a united movement for holistic, equitable, and compassionate mental health care.
