Suniel Shetty has launched a new mental health app in collaboration with Veda Rehabilitation and Wellness.
Affordable and Accessible
Suniel Shetty, the Bollywood actor, has teamed up with Veda Rehabilitation & Wellness to release ‘Let’s Get Happi,’ a novel mental health app. This innovative platform is designed to provide individuals with all around the clock access to real-time therapy with the aim to bridge the gap in affordable and inclusive mental health services.
Veda Rehabilitation & Wellness has designed the app with a specific demographic in mind. Let’s Get Happi has been created mainly for people from age 16 to those in their mid 30s and who live in busy metropolises. This initiative acknowledges the growing importance of addressing mental health concerns among the younger population in urban areas and encourages individuals to seek assistance without any inhibitions or fears.
Services to explore
The app has a range of different mental health services to choose from as per their needs and budgets. It can help in connecting users with qualified psychologists who can provide professional support at any hour of the day. The users have a choice between video, audio and texting as their means of communication with their psychologist. It also has options for in-person therapists. By providing therapy on demand, the app breaks down barriers that may prevent people from seeking help due to time constraints or geographical limitations.
Another notable aspect is the inclusion of guided meditation practices, some of which are even inspired by House and Electronic Dance Music. The app also includes self care practices like journaling. Psychological assessment tests have also been made available.
The App’s Development
After the recent official launch of the app, the app is poised to achieve substantial success, with projections to reach over 5 lakh downloads in the upcoming nine months. It has been made available on both iOS and Android systems.
Looking ahead, Veda Rehabilitation & Wellness has exciting plans for the app’s future development, including the integration of artificial inteligence. The AI-powered version of Let’s Get Happy will revolutionize the app’s capabilities, serving as a first responder, introducing cognitive games, offering premium content and podcasts, and enabling interactive journaling.
The Need for Mental Health Services
In India, despite the growing awareness surrounding mental health, there remains a prevalent stigma attached to discussing and seeking support for mental health issues. This societal taboo often hinders individuals from seeking the help they need. The emergence of services like Let’s Get Happi addresses this pressing need by providing a supportive platform for those struggling with their mental well-being.
The app’s determination to make services diverse, inclusive, accessible and budget- friendly has the potential to reach a great number of people. The creators have also emphasized their seriousness when it comes to safeguarding the anonymity of the user, thus creating a safe space for individuals so that they can seek assistance without fear of judgement or disclosure of their identity.
By addressing key aspects of mental health care, Let’s Get Happi has the potential to reach and positively impact a vast number of people in India. Breaking down the barriers of stigma and accessibility, the app has the promise of empowering individuals to prioritize their mental well-being and seek support whenever they need it, contributing to a healthier and more mentally resilient society.
Veda Rehabilitation and Wellness owns and runs India’s sole chain of Luxury Rehabilitation and Wellness Centers, making the venture the first of its kind in the country.
