  • What Is Adult-ish Peer Support About?

    A peer support space for those navigating the messy, meaningful age of 26 to 34 years. This isn’t therapy. It’s not networking. It’s not about having it all figured out.

    It’s a space to be real — about career shifts, burnout, dating fatigue, friendship changes, money anxiety, identity crises, quiet wins, and all the weird in-betweens.

    If you’re somewhere between “I should have it together by now” and “I have no idea what I’m doing,” you’re not alone. We meet to share stories, ask honest questions, and listen without fixing each other.

  • What is your founding story?
    When I started the Youth Peer Support at Agatsu, it became clear that there were 27-28 years olds wanting to find a place where they could share their experiences and feel understood. That made us realise the importance of starting a space for the older youth to come and share with peers who might be facing similar issues in their life at that moment.
  • Who are the facilitators behind Adult-ish Peer Support?
    The facilitator is a person of lived experience. Her name is Smritee Paul. She has completed her suicide prevention instructor training from QPR. Has trained over 100 people in suicide prevention and the skills required to be a Gatekeeper (empathy, boundary setting, etc). She currently works at Agatsu Foundation as the community centre and outreach head.

    Notes: The above information may change from time to time, and is shared with you to understand the background of where the support group comes from.
  • When was your support group founded? How has the journey been since then?
    It will start from August 2025. We hope to provide people between the age of 26 to 34 to feel understood and heard. Where individuals who have decided to live life on their terms not feel completely alone in the process. To talk about experiences and situations we might not be able to share elsewhere.
  • Who is your support group for?
    Individuals between the age of 26 to 34 year olds. It is for the older youth to come together and talk about their lived experiences with peers.
  • Explain your group's approach towards helping a person's mental health care.
    At the end of every session we conduct a grounding technique. This is a great way for members of the group to try different grounding techniques that would be helpful to them in moments of stress, anxiety or anger. Our topics also discuss are around self reflection, self identity, belief systems, stressors, and the relationships we keep. It’s helps make the individual more aware of the decisions they make and the things they can do for themselves.
  • What is your group's approach towards professional mental health care interventions?
    We run a therapy clinic at our centre where individuals can avail therapy on a sliding scale from starting from Rs 50 to Rs 750. We also have an extensive referral system to provide individuals help and support in the way they need it. All our staff at the centre is trained to provide immediate help when needed.
  • What conversations is your support group not equipped to support?
    Conversations around severe mental health disorders, harm to others, violence are conversations we aren’t equipped to support. We do not have the resources to help people with mental health disorders within our organisation. However, for that reason we have created a list of vetted psychologists and organisations that work in that field.
  • How does one sign up? What’s the coordination process like?
    They can register through our website or text us to register. Reach Out
  • Walk us through the average format of your group session.
    We start the session on time. The session is started with the general rules and protocols of the peer support, followed by an introduction of the facilitator and the mental health professional present. We then get started into the topic of the meet. We ask starter questions or prompts that may help members contribute to the conversation. The session last for one hour. In the last five minutes, we conduct a grounding technique to leave people on a more calm and present space.
  • What are your home rules/values?
    The organisation has certain code of conduct which all participants must follow. Any conversations that preach or put down any particular religion or political party is strictly not allowed. We also make sure that members or aware that the peer support is not a replacement for therapy, but rather a space to share, talk and listen. The peer support is confidential and any personal details that anyone shares will not be spoken of outside of the meet.
  • What do you hope for participants in your group to take back with them after a session?
    We hope that each participant at the end of the meet feels like they are not alone. They are able to reflect on their own thoughts and actions. That they’re able to better communicate their feelings in a safe environment.

How It Works

1. Find Support

Browse our curated list of mental health professionals, support groups, and resources that resonate with you.

2. Learn More

Read detailed profiles, specialties, and approaches to understand if they're the right fit for you.

3. Connect Directly

We'll help you reach out and then step aside - your mental health journey is personal.

While we carefully curate our listings, we encourage you to make your own informed decisions. Take time to research, ask questions, verify credentials and choose what feels right for you. Your comfort and safety is top priority.

Our curation process

Find someone who understands you, in just a few clicks.

We've developed a curation process over 7+ years, which allows us to carefully curate each inclusive and affirming mental health provider listed on our platform.

1. Therapists / Support Groups Contact Us
We receive applications from therapists and support groups who want to join our community.
Therapists and support groups apply to join our community. We review basic qualifications - only suitable candidates move forward.
2. Peer Referral Confirmation
Feedback from within our community.
We reach out to trusted professionals within our community about the applicant. If we don't get confident feedback, we stop here.
3. Personal Interview
Our personal interview with the applicant.
We have a conversation to understand their values and approach to inclusive care. Those who don't align with our standards don't continue.
4. Curation Questionnaire
Our detailed assessment of the applicant.
Applicants answer detailed questions about working with diverse communities within our network. Inadequate responses, or a lack of experience with diverse communities, ends the process.
5. Final Decision
(Approx 1 - 2 Months In Total)
We review everything carefully within our community standards. Only providers who pass all stages join our platform.

We have come a long way since we started in 2018, and have been adapting our curation process every day. From the time a therapist or support group reaches out to us, it takes about 1 - 2 months to complete the process.

Inspired By Our Own Struggles.

We launched TheMindClan.com because we know firsthand how challenging it can be to find support for ourselves and our loved ones. We know that experiences of neurodivergence (like dyslexia, ADHD, autism, etc), or being from a marginalized community (LGBTQIA+, etc), can make it especially challenging to find support.

We understand the overwhelming feeling of scrolling through endless lists, wondering whom to trust, and not knowing what to expect.

For Everyone

Whether you're coping with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or any other mental health concern, we're here to help you find the right support.

Inclusive by Design

If you are queer, neurodivergent, or are from a marginalized community, your experiences are at the heart of what we do.

Handpicked with Care

Support providers are handpicked after personal interviews and a rigorous curation process.

For context: From 442 therapist who wanted to join our platform (Oct 2020–Mar 2025), only 168 made it through our curation process.

Not Just Therapy

We also curate support groups 👥, create digital exercises 📱, and work on corporate partnerships 🏢 that help make mental health a priority in more spaces.

No Middlemen. Take Things Ahead Directly

We provide you with direct contact details of support providers, empowering you to reach out, ask questions, and schedule sessions

Access Their Story

Get to know your potential therapist or support group's background & journey, helping you find someone who feels right for you.

No Hidden Fee

To keep their services affordable, every payment happens directly between you and the support provider. We do not take any commissions, which means support providers don't need to inflate their fees to account for middleman costs.

Confidential

Your conversations with support groups, therapists, and others remain completely private. We never ask them for any information about the concerns you have shared with them.

Your Relationship, No Interference From Us

If the therapist or support group you choose is not a good fit, you can use our platform to find someone else you feel more comfortable with. We're not here to interfere with your relationship with your support provider.

If you appreciate our mission of making mental health care accessible and inclusive, and would love to bring this to your organization or collaborate with us, we'd be delighted to hear from you!
