COWIN: A HELPING HAND THROUGH COVID-19 MENTAL ISSUES – (Freedom Project)

 

TORONTO, CANADA, 2020-Sep-24 — /EPR Network/ — Mental health has always been a taboo. Most victims of mental health suffer in isolation, & do not share their pain given the stigma associated with mental health. Eventually, it leads to extreme steps of self harm and suicide. 

The main causes that lead to poor mental health are loneliness, stress, isolation etc. Typically, the most affected age group is 30, and if it helps  understand the global median age has increased from 21.5 years in 1970 to over 30 years in 2019. 

Not everyone has access to professional therapy, may it be because of cost or limited access to mental health . 

Cowin.live is a social impact initiative that provides a platform for Covid-19 warriors to enable communities address challenges presented by the pandemic. 

Through the Freedom project, Cowin.live aims to curate mental health stories that showcase victories from individuals, leaders in the community, specialists in any field of service, & influencers. 

To enable widespread reach, Cowin.live has partnered with various NGOs, hospitals and mental wellness companies. To name a few NGOs ; Masoom Organization in Mumbai works towards the impact of quality of education at night schools, TARA foundation, founded by Basanti Caroline Roublin’s that works towards serving vulnerable children & an after-care program for young adults who grew up in TARA Homes. 

A unique partnership with Shree Sai Pratishthan, an NGO that enables travel to Shirdi for Sai Baba followers & grows devotion towards better belief.
