We are Connecting…, an NGO formed by concerned citizens who have come together to design programmes that create awareness and support individuals dealing with emotional stresses and help save lives.
Connecting through a diverse range of initiatives aims to spread awareness and ensure intervention and prevention of suicide.
Connecting… is dedicated to suicide prevention and survivor support. Our programmes address issues that help deal with stress at early stages, help individuals deal with trauma, provide support to survivors of suicide loss and provide a helpline so that individuals in distress can seek emotional support when they need it.
These services are run mostly by volunteers and are mostly free of cost for all those who seek help.
