Suicide is not just a statistic. It’s a story cut short. A dream unfulfilled. A heartbeat that didn’t need to stop.
And right now, India is losing 468 such heartbeats every single day, making us the suicide capital of the world. Behind each number is a question that haunts every parent, sibling, teacher, and friend: “Could this have been prevented?”
We believe the answer is a resounding yes.
But only if we act now.
Our Mission: Mandate Mental Health Education in All Indian Schools
Led by Middlemen.asia and the WeDidIt Foundation, we are filing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) in the Supreme Court of India to make mental health education a mandatory subject from Class 1 onward.
Because prevention must start early before stigma takes root, before depression becomes deadly.
Imagine an India where:
Children learn how to understand their emotions

Talking about anxiety or sadness isn’t shameful, but normal

Every student has access to tools that help them cope, speak up, and seek help
That is why we need your signature, to demand this change.
Why This Matters — The Numbers Behind the Crisis
1.71 lakh Indians die by suicide every year

80% of those needing mental health care receive none at all

Cost to our economy: $1.03 trillion by 2030

Research shows 95% of crimes are linked to untreated mental illness

Our children deserve better than to grow up in a system where mental health is ignored until it becomes fatal.
What This PIL Will Achieve

Early Intervention: Teach emotional intelligence, resilience & coping skills from childhood

Suicide Prevention: Spot distress before it becomes tragedy

Strengthened Families: Remember mental health isn’t individual, it’s generational

A More Humane India: One that leads the world in compassion, not crisis

Backed by our two empowering books:
📘 “Public Interest Litigation: Power, Purpose, and People’s Rights”
📙 “Misunderstood: A Guide to Mental Health”
We are creating a movement fueled by awareness, advocacy, and action.
