Remembering her journey, she says,“I was always extremely passionate about mental health due to the devastating impact of the stigma I noticed in my community.However, I was frequently told that I should not focus my energy on solving this issue because I was only a teenager. I finally decided to challenge the status quo and started my organization. The voices of young people need to be heard.”

Aaryani’s Project, Let’s Talk, aims to spread mental health awareness in both private and government schools across India. To date, they have conducted 104 awareness sessions, impacted 3000+ students, and gained the support of over 80 volunteers.

The curriculum for the sessions has been developed by her team in collaboration with mental health experts. The Young Advocate is also a public speaker.
