Peer support

My Buddy: peer support for encouragement and healthier routines

Sometimes having someone to talk to makes the difference. My Buddy is a peer-support programme run by EQUAL Society in Delhi NCR, India: you can become a buddy, or get in touch to find one.

The programme

Peer support built on listening and encouragement.

My Buddy is a wellness initiative from EQUAL Society, the organisation behind Sutra Health. It helps people connect with positive companions who encourage healthy living, emotional balance and supportive conversation.

A buddy is a peer, not a therapist. The idea is kindness, listening and healthy habits, which can help create an encouraging environment. My Buddy is not a substitute for professional medical or mental-health care.

Two ways to take part

Scope and care

Peer support is not professional care.

If you are living with a mental-health condition, severe or lasting distress, or you feel unsafe, speak to a qualified professional. A buddy can be a companion alongside that care, not a replacement for it.

If you or someone else is in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
