Vandrevala Foundation Information

The Cyrus and Priya Vandrevala Foundation is a non-profit organisation that partners with leading institutions to strengthen communities through education, healthcare, and mental-health access. For over fifteen years, we have supported individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts, self-harm, anxiety, stress, and other emotional distress. With over 1.5 million free counselling sessions to date, we remain committed to making mental health accessible, compassionate, and stigma-free for all. Developed by a team from Stanford University, the Foundation uses an AI-driven emotional-support copilot to enhance counsellor training, data insight, and crisis response — combining human empathy with cutting-edge technology. We are committed to providing a platform for both clients and counsellors towards inculcating community mental health through the following modalities: - Helpline - Brief sessions via call or WhatsApp for persons experiencing distress, making mental health accessible via English and preferred Regional Languages, available 24x7 - Volunteering - Those passionate about mental health can learn to provide support to those in crisis in individual and group settings through extensive training, mentoring, and supervision, along with self-learning modules - Group Therapy - Safe, collaborative sessions emphasising Confidentiality, Convenience, and Comfort. - Pro bono - Free of cost, solution-focused short-term sessions in a scheduled format, offering therapeutic support for everyday problems. - Paid therapy - Long-term psychotherapeutic services for those working through complex mental health concerns with psychologists via online sessions in audio and video modes.
