Under a tree in Gudalur, children held up emoji masks and named what they were feeling. In Chennai, a ‘Mind Tree’ grew leaf by leaf with messages of hope.
At Road To School, we believe no child thrives in isolation. Every child’s wellbeing is shaped by the family and community around them.
This World Mental Health Day, we’re highlighting a community initiative in Tamil Nadu that created safe spaces for people to talk about mental health, manage stress and support one another. Led by mental health professionals and community volunteers, these conversations helped strengthen local networks of care.
Because stronger communities begin with people who feel seen, heard and supported.
Road To School in these locations is supported by Gulf Oil and Hinduja Foundation and implemented by our partners at Learning Links Foundation
