Vision

Secret Ingredient Health Foundation dreams of a world that works on the principle of equity, includes the marginalized, and a world where psychological counselling and therapy is accessible to every section of the society and not just a luxury enjoyed by the elite.

​

Mission

1. To conduct inclusive programs centered on psychological health, counselling and therapy for various populations, with an aim to spread awareness, enable expression, normalize counselling, reach the marginalized strata and support their psychological well-being.

2. To infuse creative arts into our programs to make psychotherapy and related programs engaging to the population, and remove the cerebral veil that keeps the public away from it.

3. To undertake ethical, relevant and scientific research of the macro and micro roadblocks in accessibility of counselling and psychotherapy, and ways of eliminating them.

4. To build a community of psychologists and like-minded individuals, train and support them to trigger a chain of opportunities and enablement through them.

Values

• Inclusion

We believe that accessing counselling and psychotherapy is a basic human right that every individual possesses equally. However, we recognize the need to extend counselling services proactively to people excluded from the mainstream. So, deliberate ‘Inclusion’ of representatives of all societal sections is a principle that guides our every effort.

• Advocacy

We hope to fulfill the responsibility of standing up for accessibility of psychological counselling and therapy, advocating for those it is inaccessible to, and trying to create an impact and pressure to introduce new laws and policies related to the issue, improve the existing ones and cull out the unfavorable ones.

• Empowerment

We perceive our role to be of a catalyst in the inevitable process of psycho-social empowerment of the public, including those on the margins. We strive to create opportunities and offer tools that they can empower themselves with, access counselling and therapy services from qualified psychologists or become mental health workers themselves, and are equipped to reach out to others for the same. The ultimate goal is to foster a culture of empowerment branching out through each of our associates.
