Happiness Express: A Pan-India Tour for Mental and Menstrual Health Awareness

Humanify Foundation has initiated a series of ‘Happiness Express’ mental health sessions. It is a nationwide drive led by eminent social activist Niraj Gera, the Chairman of Humanify Foundation. With the goal of making India a happier and stress-free nation, Humanify Foundation is conducting a nationwide tour to reach young minds, helping them achieve their goals and giving them a vision for life through mental wellness workshops.

Apart from strengthening the mental health of youth, these sessions break the myths and eliminate the stigma associated with menstruation. The 90-minute sessions focus on the holistic growth of students, including ice-breaking activities, discussions on menstrual hygiene myths, women empowerment, gender sensitization, and the importance of meditation for a successful and balanced life.

Our Mission

To create a world where menstruation is normalized, period stigma is eliminated, and it is understood as a natural and healthy part of life. We envision a society where all individuals, regardless of gender or socioeconomic background, have access to menstrual hygiene products, education, and supportive environments. Through our mental health and menstrual health awareness sessions, we aim to empower the youth and inspire positive social change.
