Till date, Nurture Life has worked with numerous institutions, including colleges, hospitals, schools, corporate firns etc. and with ordinary people so as to spread the awareness about the cause.
The focus is to make people aware about the importance of mental health, provide services and therapies to all and provide an open platform to people to talk about the topic.
