I Am Wellbeing is an organisation dedicated to nurturing positive mental well-being of children in need of care and protection.

I Am Wellbeing addresses the need to nurture the hearts of children at risk through training caregivers and mental health professionals, providing trauma focused intervention and conducting research on behalf of the needs of children at risk.
In the process of creating a vast network of skilled and efficient mental health professionals to widen its impact, I Am Wellbeing has honed a multi-disciplinary and dynamic team, comprising of counsellors, clinical psychologists, trainers, and professionals from allied sciences.
The systems and modules used in I Am Wellbeing are powered by a synthesis of expert knowledge and international best practices backed by their research team.

The first step of caring for someone is caring for 'self'. A rare and beautiful experience created by I Am Wellbeing for the caregivers of the Udayan Ghar program.
