“It’s amazing how a little tomorrow can make up for a whole lot of yesterday.” — John Guare

Empowering & Energizing , Coaching and counselling for last 25 years ,made me realize the POWER OF OPTIMISM , POWER OF FAITH and POWER OF RESILIENCE that makes impossible possible. The grit to face odds and deal with adversity , unearths the deepest potential in us and is so liberating and fulfilling. After years of path breaking work in the field of mental health, psychological well being with positive psychology , breaking myths of ‘counselling is for crazy’ …….in mainstream educational institutions, corporates and social organizations; conducting life skill workshops, building proactive parenting platforms and offering teacher education in psychosocial domain , from Ummeed Counselling & Consulting services, a multi speciality centre based in calcutta ,with countrywide operations. I had deep satisfaction in the acceptance it created in people , communities and organizations .This also gave me tremendous insight into the power of human connect , the difference people can make in their lives with right knowledge , with little resources and genuine support . However, I always felt the need to reach out to those who were needing it the most, yet not being reached. To be able to reach out and connect to more people , young and young at heart , those who are not so privileged; was always there .The need in society to spread long term wellbeing, spread good mental health practices, provide life skill education and enhance capacity of caregivers in the NGO sector led to this reach out -Umeed Foundation ‘reaching the unreached came into existence in 2015. The like minded people who encouraged me , walked with me all made this journey possible . To feel is human , To give is noble but to give hope is divine .We at ummeed foundation are committed  to give to restore dignity,  to give to build skills & empower,  to give to create self-sufficiency,  to give to cope and have a meaningful life!
