Participant (P1): What I thought about
the website was that it was a great way for me or
anyone else to start. If I’m facing some
problems and most of us are shy about sharing them
with another person. So the website or the modules
were a great way to start thinking about how we
will tackle those problems, so combined with a
counsellor or any person who is willing to help,
the modules are a great way to start.
Interviewer (1): So you think this is a
great starting point. Can you give me a little bit
more of … how do you think it will help?
Once people start thinking or you know, start
getting aware …
P1: So like yesterday I was talking to
one of my friend and he said that he is facing
some problem around … on like admin front
and all that, I suggested him to go and see a
counsellor but he was shy about seeing one and had
some inhibition. So starting with the modules he
does not have to meet anyone or tell his problems
to anyone, and once he has started these modules
he will know that it is perfectly okay to have
problems and he will be more open while sharing
them with people or with counsellor and seeking
further help. That’s what I think …
that the modules are a great starting point.
I: Okay that’s nice,
that’s great. So you think that it reduces
that … can I say stigma related to actually
seeking help?
P1: Yes, it will help in reducing the
stigma around mental health problems.
