The stigma surrounding mental health has plagued society for years. Studies show that 1 in 4 adults living with a mental health condition experience judgement and discrimination, and often we are judged more harshly than those afflicted with other physical conditions.
It’s unfair and it needs to change. At ManoShala, it is believed that when you have a coffee with your expert, the stigma begins to break down. Participants can then leave the experience with all the answers they need and a better understanding of mental health.
How is ManoShala breaking the mental health stigma?
1. Everything is secret: Because of the anonymity and confidentiality, someone living with a mental health condition can ask their expert any questions they want. They don’t have to worry about being judged or fearing their answers expose their struggle.
2. Variety of experts: They have an expert on every mental health and well-being condition, so participants have the opportunity to learn the truth behind what they are going through. The experts share what treatment is available and how it can help them overcome their struggle.
3. Enacts self love: ManoShala empowers people to build a better relationship with their true self, without judgement or fear of judgement as they interact with our experts.
4. Enlightenment and learning: ManoShala allows participants to learn from the experience of others who have been in their shoes. Participants walk away with new (or renewed) insights and better understanding.
5. Embodies acceptance: There is no judgement, only acceptance. ManoShala is present with their experts to help them on the road to recovery and self love.
6. Rekindle the soul: In a world where people have so much access to media, they can be affected by negative or harmful messages that negate their worth and value as a person. At ManoShala, they offer a place away from distractions and judgement, but give them space to reconnect with their true selves and begin that journey of recovery.
7. ManoShala is everyone’s refuge: It can be scary to open up about mental health, even more so with a complete stranger. ManoShala helps people realise that it’s ok to be vulnerable and they are not alone.
