We launched TheMindClan.com, having experienced our own struggles of finding support for our loved ones. We know how it feels when you have to browse endless lists, not knowing whom to trust, not knowing what to expect.

  • We believe the process of finding support should be easier.
  • Our efforts are purely voluntary. We don't charge a listing fee to the therapists or support groups on our platform, to curate, verify and amplify their work.
  • We support ourselves by working closely with corporate organizations, to facilitate webinars and workshops on mental health for their employees. Learn More.
  • We also work on creating resources that help make mental health a priority in more spaces.
  • Everything we do is to help you recognize the wonders of inclusive mental health support.

Our Values

Collaboration and Co-creation

We work alongside and in collaboration with people, professionals and collectives that align with our vision of mental health care.

Rights Based Approach to Mental Health

We view mental health from the perspective of the rights of users and clients who access support services.

Intersection of Identities with Mental Health

We recognize that mental health does not exist in a vacuum. We acknowledge how the experiences of people from diverse identity locations of gender, sexuality, caste, class, age, and ability can impact their mental health in unique ways.

Inclusive and Inviting of All Identities

We hope to be and keep working towards being a safe, respectful, and affirming space for individuals and communities of diverse gender identities, sexual identities, caste, class, age, and ability.

Questioning Norms and Systems of Oppression

We strongly believe that there is no cookie cutter approach to mental health. Hierarchies in the mental health care system that do not take individual needs into account must be challenged. We question and call out systems like patriarchy, heteronormativity, gender binary, casteism, and ableism that oppress or marginalize people. We acknowledge how this marginalization impacts mental health.

Prioritizing Accessibility Across Experiences

We hope to make our platform, its resources and its content easily accessible to any individual who may come with experiences of difficulty in reading, vision, and/or hearing.

Accountability and Responsibility

We strive to always hold responsibility and accountability towards our values and our vision of mental health care through empathy, consistent dialogue, openness to feedback, and recognition of diversity in experiences.

Restoring Agency and Choice to the User

We believe that people have the expertise and know-how to make decisions for their personal mental health care. We intend to keep the you at the centre of your mental health journey.

Communities Support Communities

TheMindClan.com thrives as a community by relying on and amplifying the voices of fellow communities of friendships, allies, people and collectives who are passionate about mental health and who uphold similar values and hopes as ours.

Unlearning Biases and Recognizing Privilege

We recognize and acknowledge the privileges we hold. To remain accountable, we are dedicated to constantly learning and unlearning the conscious and unconscious biases that our privileges come with.

Why We Do It

We believe the mental health care system can change.

The existing mental health care systems are plagued with stigma, quick to pathologize, and driven by a cookie-cutter approach that does not take individual needs into account.

We intend to flip the system on its head by placing people's choice at the centre. We intend to become a system that understands you for who you are and is sensitive to your identities.

We hope to put you at the center of the change.

We believe that the intimidation, judgment and stigma surrounding mental health can be chipped away when people are able to make choices for their mental health care by themselves, based on their current needs, in a non-threatening community space like ours.

At Our Core

  • Through our platform, we want the world to know that we are grounded in feminist, social justice, LGBTQIA+ liberation, and other movements of inclusion.
  • We center the needs and invite the experiences of each and every individual irrespective of age, gender identity, sexuality, religion, caste, colour, or physical ability.
  • We believe that through discussions we learn, and through inclusion and empathy we grow individually, as a community, and as an effective mental health care system.

Why We Are Different

  • At TheMindClan.com we combine the nimbleness of a startup with the mission and values of a not-for-profit.
  • We firmly believe that there's no cookie-cutter approach to mental health care.
  • We are devoting our time and resources to help individuals understand a more personal form of caring for their mental health.
  • We are also completely volunteer-driven, and offer the platform to our users at no cost.
