Emancipaction India Foundation

EmancipAction exists to provide healing and hope to children living in extremely vulnerable situations across India. We are working to end a cycle of Read more gender violence and sexual abuse by bringing together the best corporate, government, non-profit and academic partners to change the trajectory of these children's lives. With less than 1 psychologist for every million people in India, these children have no access to the right kind of trauma-informed care that they so desperately need. We are working to establish the first evidence-based, effective and scalable model of trauma-informed care through lay counselors in partnership with Sangath. We are working to build a network of partners to provide vulnerable children with a variety of educational and vocational opportunities to inspire, build skills and, ultimately, financial independence. With this work, we seek transformation for both the individual child and the broader system of child care institutions throughout the country.

EmancipAction's mission is to democratize mental healthcare across India so that nobody has to suffer in silence and to make mental healthcare accessible to underserved communities.

EmancipAction has established mental health programs in multiple states across India and partnered with over 50 childcare institutions to provide mental health services.
