We are on a mission to make mental health literacy more accesible
Teen Mental Health Society started as a small Zoom-based organization in September of 2020 in Mumbai, India amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. It served as a virtual platform for teenagers and young adults to come together every Sunday to find tiny pieces of hope, a sense of community, and resilience during the long, haunting months of lockdown.
We do a handful of things, but we do them with love.
Educational Webinars
We organize engaging online sessions led by experts, where we delve deep into vital mental health topics.
Editorial Content
Our content cuts clean. Thoughtfully built, rigorously questioned, never biased. We dissect the culture—situationships, emotional labor gaps, and everything in between.

School Mental Well-being Program
Half of all mental health conditions start by 14 years of age, but most cases go undetected and untreated.
In response to the growing need for robust mental health support in Indian schools, we introduce the School Mental Well-being Program.
Thoughtfully designed for educators, this program equips them with the knowledge, skills, and tools to prioritize mental health—for themselves and their students.
Built on a DSM-5-informed curriculum and evidence-based practices, it helps teachers recognize early signs, respond with confidence, and create classrooms where every learner feels seen.
Our goal is simple: foster an inclusive school culture that strengthens well-being, resilience, and academic excellence.
From the Founder's Desk
Aayushi Kulsunge
In 2020, stuck at home amid a deadly, global pandemic, I saw everyone around me struggling with their mental health just as much, if not, more than their physical health. The pandemic was a threat to both our mental and physical well-being at the same time.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression at 15 years old and it didn't take me long to understand that even having access to a psychiatrist who could diagnose me was a privilege. From watching my father drive to three different cities to buy antidepressants to noticing the lack of mental health resources in my school, I noticed the loopholes and stigma attached to mental health.
At 16, I started the Teen Mental Health Society to raise awareness about common mental health disorders, the early indicators of an underlying mental health condition, and establishing dialogue about the topic. Seeing TMHS grow from a figment of my imagination to a globally celebrated nonprofit organization in the span of a couple of years has been my greatest joy, and I am grateful that you are here today!
