PUNE: Psychologists Radhika Bapat in Pune and US-based Uma Chandrika Millnerin Conjunction with the Asian American Psychological Association, have Established INDEAR (Indian Network of Those Diaspora for Crucial Support and Relief) to offer free mental health Care to frontline Health Care workers.

“Affected by what has been occurring in India, Millner achieved to assist me.
We’ve been friends for 20 decades.
I told her I had provided free treatment to frontline employees on Tuesdays and had been overwhelmed with the amount of those who contacted mepersonally.
Our dialog contributed for her offering to assist on a bigger scale,” explained Bapat.
