A common misconception is that a helpline should only be used in moments of crisis. You can reach out to Mann Talks any time you are feeling emotionally distressed.

We often feel guilty about reaching out to friends and family constantly. We fear their judgement, or we may not want to share sensitive information with those close to us. At Mann Talks, you will get to speak to a trained mental health professional who will provide you with an unbiased, safe and confidential space where you can comfortably share your thoughts, emotions and experiences.

Sometimes, a loved one may be going through a tough time and you may not know how to help them. You can reach out to Mann Talks on behalf of your loved one to find out how to support them and minimize the emotional distress they are going through.
