Dr. Rupa Talukder Hosts Mental Health & Wellbeing Awareness Program in Kolkata

Mind’s Eye Launches Community-Centric Initiative with Free Talking Therapy Sessions

Immediate Press release Date, Place,Kolkata, India — 14th October 2025:

In an important step toward normalizing mental health conversations, Mind’s Eye, a leading psychological wellness centre in Kolkata, led by Dr. Rupa Talukder, widely regarded as the best psychological counsellor in Kolkata, organized a comprehensive Mental Health and Wellbeing Awareness Program for the general public and existing patients.
The event, held at a community center in North Kolkata, welcomed individuals from all walks of life — students, working professionals, caregivers, and mental health survivors — to engage in open conversations around emotional wellbeing, stress, anxiety, and recovery. The event featured an innovative approach: “Talking Therapy Corners”, offering free, confidential mini sessions with trained therapists to introduce attendees to the healing power of verbal expression.

Breaking the Silence Around Mental Health
Dr. Rupa Talukder opened the event with a keynote that addressed the stigma surrounding mental illness, particularly in urban Indian settings. “Mental health isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity,” she said. “We wanted to create a safe, stigma-free space for people to speak, listen, and feel heard.”
The awareness initiative aligned with World Mental Health Month and aimed to:
Educate the public about early signs of mental distress


Offer resources for emotional self-care


Encourage individuals to seek help without shame


Introduce practical tools such as mindfulness and guided self-reflection


Talking Therapy Corners: Real Conversations, Real Impact
The Talking Therapy model used during the event was a simplified, walk-in version of structured psychotherapy. Attendees could speak privately with counsellors for 10–15 minutes to share concerns, ask questions, or simply unburden.
Many participants expressed how impactful even a brief, non-judgmental conversation felt. For some, it was their first time ever speaking to a professional.

Community Empowerment Through Psychological Education
Alongside therapy booths, the event also featured:
Mental health quizzes and myth-busting games


Live guided meditation sessions


Resource handouts on depression, anxiety, and trauma


A panel Q&A with Dr. Talukder and her team


The initiative was designed to empower individuals with emotional literacy, helping them recognize patterns, triggers, and coping techniques through awareness rather than fear.
