"There's no better way for people to understand how to support those struggling with mental health challenges, than to hear first-person stories of 'experts by experience,'" social entrepreneur Neha Kirpal says.
Kirpal, who co-founded mental health start-up Amaha, is working with author Nandini Murali on Mental Health: Lived Experiences of Resilience and Hope, an anthology of 20 stories from women in India set to be released next year, the Week reports.
According to the book's publisher, Westland Books, the first-person accounts in Mental Health address the stigma, shame, secrecy, and silence around mental health in India.
"These lived experience narratives are more than just stories and can 'heal, empower, transform, and radically humanise society,'" Murali says in a statement.
