Serving in the field of Mental Health Issues
INTENTION: As a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, we're also facing a global pandemic of stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness and suffering. I am also worried about the number of people who attempted or committed suicide in the past year and a half. I'd like to explore how we can serve this vulnerable population in a way that is sustainable and appropiate as the effects of these mental health conditions will be bigger in the coming years.

BACKGROUND: I am a clinical psychologist and a Mindfulness practitioner. I have been offering free Mindfulness sessions for people living with fear, stress, anxiety and depression and I have also provided programs for people living in disadvantaged backgrounds. I'd love to explore if people around the globe are offering a similar service and what we can learn through the sharing of our experiences.

CONTEXT: I realized that several of the pod participants offer meditation, Yoga and Mindfulness programs, other participants also mentioned they are interested in alleviating the suffering they see around them. I consider it would be meaningful if we could come together and explore this particular type of service and experiences people have had in this area.
