TeenTalkIndia
The Dainik Bhaskar Group’s initiative ‘Teentalkindia.com’ is an emotional wellbeing platform for teenagers and young adults in India. With 17 Crore of the Indian population in the age group of 13 to 29 years, India has one of the largest youngest populations in the world. Today’s teenagers and young adults deal with a great deal of pressures such as parental expectations, academic pressures and societal pressures and ultimately these pressures may lead to depression or anxiety, suicide or self-harm. This is compounded by the fact that there are limited support services available for emotional wellbeing in India. Bollywood celebrities like Alia Bhatt, John Abraham, etc. have supported Teentalkindia by encouraging youth to use it for various teen related issues.
Teentalkindia has impacted 5 Lakh users and helped 15 Thousand young adults through chats and emails to overcome their issues including overcoming suicidal tendencies.
