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.

We’ve been friends for 20 decades.
