About:
Kangaroo Minds is a movement which is dedicated to spreading awareness, providing support and enhancing knowledge around Mental Health and wellbeing.
Our focus remains on combining knowledge and domain expertise to create awareness about Mental Health, help to beat the prevailing misinformation and stigma associated with Mental Health and Mental Illness, & in providing support and resources for Mental Health.
While there is a lot of talk in terms of the Care and Funding Gap in this space, we have found that the Mental Health space today is facing an Awareness Gap, a Support Gap & a Knowledge Gap - and through our proprietary A.S.K. model, we aim to bridge just that.
We seek to be a trusted provider of solutions for individuals seeking help or guidance in understanding Mental Health, managing their emotional well-being and life goals through integrated solutions both online and offline through our training programs, workshops, life coaching sessions and other initiatives, all which are in line with our A.S.K. model.
Our efforts to promote, spread awareness and educate individuals about Mental Health and well-being is also in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal #3.
