PSYPIX : Free Online Diploma in Mental Health Awareness  | August 2026

ManoRaksha proudly launches PSYPIX 🧠🚀, a free, open-to-all Diploma & Community Capacity-Building Programme for psychology enthusiasts and curious minds.

No Psychology degree is required. No course fee. Just curiosity, commitment and the willingness to learn. 🌱

Through structured sessions, practical activities, discussions and community engagement, participants can explore psychology and human behaviour while building meaningful knowledge and skills.

But there’s a difference: the programme is free, the diploma is earned. 🎓 Participants must complete the required learning, participation and engagement credits to become eligible for the internship component and ultimately the PSYPIX Diploma.

Learn. Engage. Earn. Transform. 🧠🌱🚀

MANASA 2.0 |  Advancing the Conversation on School Mental Health

MANASA 2.0 (ManoRaksha Advancing School Alliance) successfully brought together school leaders from across India for a meaningful dialogue on strengthening mental health and wellbeing in educational institutions. The virtual summit welcomed principals, vice-principals, coordinators, counsellors, and educators who shared a common vision of creating safer, more inclusive, and emotionally supportive learning environments.

The overwhelming participation and engagement made MANASA 2.0 a significant milestone in ManoRaksha's mission to transform school mental health across India. We extend our sincere gratitude to every educator and school leader who contributed their insights and experiences.

At ManoRaksha, we believe that lasting change is built through continuous collaboration, shared learning, and collective action, because every school deserves to be a place where wellbeing is valued as much as academic excellence.

Women Empowerment as an integral approach of ManoRaksha

When it comes to women’s empowerment, at ManoRaksha we do not believe it can be reduced to just a social media post. We constantly ask ourselves, what are we actually doing on the ground? As trainers, even when we are engaged for domain specific sessions, we keep one commitment non negotiable

We ask for 45 minutes to speak on women’s empowerment

That session is delivered completely free of cost

No invoices, no conditions, just responsibility

This is not symbolic, it is intentional

Earlier, through self defence initiatives, we conducted free sessions for women in collaboration with local authorities, police, and institutions. Today, this commitment continues in a more structured and professional manner

With training in POCSO through SVP Police Institute and POSH through UNFPA, we actively integrate awareness on women’s safety, legal rights, prevention, and psychosocial resilience into our sessions. This component remains free because awareness and safety should never depend on affordability

So yes, even a small effort, when done consistently, can create real change....!!

National Dialogue and Innovation on Digital Mental Health @ NIMHANS, Bengaluru

The forum engaged deeply with structural questions surrounding digital mental health delivery systems, evolving application ecosystems, and emerging ethical complexities. At Manoraksha, we consistently ensure that our teams remain research-driven, evidence-oriented, and technologically ahead of innovation curves.
