The keener we look around us, the
more we can find out that our world is being engulfed by negativity. In todayÂs
world, helping a person attracts suspicion, ignoring doesnÂt. Mental health
programmes are a field of healthcare that is very much underappreciated and is
often ignored in terms of significance. With the government continually
slashing financial resources for agencies and people who are trying to preach
the importance of mental health due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become
even more important now to raise awareness about the importance of mental
health and the approaches that could help in supporting these services. The
growth and expansion of self-help and mental health doctors has already begun
to show the effect that they could have on personal development and the
treatment given in therapy and counselling. But, there is still a long way to
go. The availability of mental-healthcare providers is very low in the world
even though there are a few well-known psychologists in the world doing their
best to raise awareness about the importance of mental health. Nabhit Kapur, a
globally recognised ambassador for mental health tops this list of
psychologists.
Nabhit Kapur is a renowned psychologist who specialized in studies related to different mental states, perceptual, behavioural, emotional, and social processes and actions through research and experimentation. He is also a Psycho-Preneur, an author, a TEDx speaker, and an internationally recognized ambassador for mental health and peace. He was awarded numerous recognitions including the ÂOrder of Kentucky colonel and ÂEminent peace ambassadorÂ, by The International Association of World Peace Advocates. His career path hasnÂt been simple. He received an honors degree in applied psychology from Amity University and a postgraduate degree in counselling and psychotherapy from IBMS, Chittoor. He is also specialised in Handwriting analysis & Therapy. Despite facing many setbacks in his life, he has been able to set into motion some impactful improvements in many regions of the world like the African continent through his perseverance and dedication.
In 2015, he started working with
many NGOs, hospitals and schools to gain experience and training which
eventually led to the establishment of ÂPeacfulMind Foundation (PMF), a global
organization registered with the United Nations (U.N.) Global Compact. The
foundation provides a range of educational programmes and supports community
service for mental health. Their outreach has helped many people throughout the
world. In the last three years, Kapur has taught over tens of thousands of
children on how to balance and maintain their mental health. He has
accomplished ground-breaking progress in Africa over the last couple of years
through his engagement on mental health issues aimed at reducing societal
taboos and fostering mental health in the community. He was featured in various
online news panels and print magazines for his esteemed work and reputation
like Cooperate Investment Times, Exelon magazine, Forbes, Statesman, Daily
Search, Top 100 Magazine, The Week, Las Republicas etc. He is also a member of
Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland and West-African public
health institute. ÂMy goal has always been and will be to make people
prioritize their mental health as a critical facet of lifeÂ, remarked Nabhit
Kapur.
