Mental Health & Well-being: Destigmatizing Mental Health in India through SOcial Media

Adelina Quaranta completed her Global Capstone Scholar project in the spring of 2021 during her junior year.  Her interest in this topic was inspired by looking at the many struggles of individuals throughout the world in having access to mental health resources, and found a strong stigma around mental health concerns in India. Through her research was able to compile resources in all states of India that are available for those with mental health concerns and their families. Adelina compiled information from all states in India listing these resources, and published the information on Facebook hoping to start a conversation for individuals throughout India.
