About US
Pahilo Kadam is a project of Krinjal.
WE just want to be there for you when you need us.
We have decided to use our skills, experience and passion not only to open up the discussion around mental health in Nepal, but also to actually provide one-on-one counseling by professional support groups led by experts, through collaboration with various experts, professionals and organizations working in the field of mental health.
Our objective is plain simple; be there for people needing mental health support.
If we have to list in the points, we would say:
- Be one stop resource for people seeking any mental health related topics
- Create a database of counselors with various infos, so that people can reach the right counselor easily.
- Connect people with counselors
Main thing, we are ‘Not-for-profit’. If any session requires charge then know that the fee goes towards paying our professional counselors.
