Udayan Care Workshop

The Good Wave Foundation successfully hosted a workshop titled 'Mental Health Awareness', led by a qualified psychologist for the dedicated 'Spirited Shalinis' of Udayan Care. The 2-hour session imparted essential strategies for managing exam stress and introduced participants to the practice of mindful breathing, marking another stride in our commitment to mental well-being.
On July 21, 2023, The Good Wave Foundation introduced Cohort 1, offering free therapy to individuals aged 18 and above across India. By August 31, over 50 participants had accessed multiple free therapy sessions, making meaningful progress in their mental health journeys.
Building on this success, on September 28, 2023, the Foundation launched a dedicated Entrepreneur Cohort, providing free therapy sessions to founders, entrepreneurs, and small business owners. This initiative created a much-needed safe space for leaders navigating personal and professional challenges.
