MENTAL HEALTH CLUB

IN YOUR COLLEGE
 ABOUT MPOWER

Mental health is a subject that does not get enough focus,

even though it is a keystone of personal development.

Mpower, an initiative of Aditya Birla Education Trust, led by

our founder Dr. Neerja Birla, is a mental health organization
that partners with corporates to create a positive mental
health environment and stamp out the stigma of mental illness
from the workplace through our creative workshops and
trainings. Ultimately, the goal is to de-stigmatize mental health
and encourage people to seek help, without shame or fear.

We are happy to discuss our offerings with you to collaborate

on a Mental Health & Wellness program.
FOUNDER & CHAIRPERSON

Dr. NEERJA BIRLA

Dr. Birla is a progressive, dynamic and versatile leader,
driven by her passions and an unwavering resolve to give
back to society responsibly. She endeavours to positively
impact the lives of people from all sections of society and
bring about progressive change in the field of education
and on the mental health landscape of India.
