About Our Mental Health NGO |
The Home of Beautiful Souls Foundation
Born from the lived experience of our founder, Akash Ramchandani, Home of Beautiful Souls Foundation is a Mental Health NGO that is Home to 100+ people from PAN India. A home that is also a survivor-centered community for people who have experienced Mental Health turmoils like loneliness, anxiety, or any disorders like depression or others.
As a part of our survivor-centered community approach, we create a ‘Safe Space’ where everyone is accepted of their identity related to race, class, age, disability, language, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, culture, ethnicity, religion, spirituality, mental health, and socio-economic status.
We also offer everyone empathy, kindness, respite, and care and create opportunities for them to express their needs, priorities, concerns, and goals through accessible & inclusive therapy, psychiatric aid, and peer support & social groups.
Our Mission at Home of Beautiful Souls Foundation
Mental Health isn’t a luxury or a privilege, so why should Mental Health Services be? Through our Mental Health NGO, we aim to create the most affordable mental health infrastructure where individuals can access the best mental health resources at their disposal.
At the same time, with our mantra ‘we heal together, we grow together’ we are on a mission to create India’s Biggest Mental Health Community where each and everyone is accepted as whole versions of themselves and is fully welcome, embraced, and accommodated.
To achieve our goals, we plan to collaborate with colleges and establish “safe space hubs.” We also plan to partner with corporations to provide mental health support for their employees. Additionally, we aim to launch a 24-hour suicide helpline and community center that will be available to anyone in need at any time.

HOBS aka SafeSpace has been a community that I won't like to call community, instead we all are banditos. One for all, all for one. Open platform where one can... read more express themselves without being judged and to people who genuinely care. They love you for who you are. This space made me feel that I am not alone, I'll never be. It has been more than a year I am associated with HOBS and I've found my "Safespace" ❤️
September 28, 2023Ash M.Skilled therapist, attentive reception and supportive people. They are literally making therepy session for middle class people affordable.

February 28, 2022avisha yvI attended the safe space session , people talked about their experiences with depression and other mental health struggles . The session was held online and it was a space... read more where people could openly share their stories and receive support and understanding from others in similar situations. Mr . Akash did an excellent job of creating a welcoming and supportive environment. Throughout the sessions , participants had the opportunity to share their stories and experiences with mental health , including anxiety , trauma and depression. One of the most powerful aspects of the session was the way in which people openly and vulnerably shared their stories. Many spoke about their feelings related to mental health , but through sharing their stories and hearing from others , they were able to find a sense of validation and belonging. Overall the session was a testament to the power of creating safe spaces for people to talk about their experiences with mental health struggles. The participants felt heard , understood , and supported. I highly recommend this session to anyone looking for a supportive community and a safe space
March 28, 2023JeemoniI've been with Hobs for almost two years now and trust me there're the best despite i was a minor when I joined Hobs they understood and guided me... read more like no other can do for me and that too in a very reasonable charge .I'm from a rural area and therapy is not available in our place, so I tried surfing on the internet but therapy is usually quite expensive for middle class people like us.But when I got to know about Hobs it finally gave me sense of relief after talking to the therapist. I salute HOBS for all the amazing work its doing for the mankind , for the ones in need and are not privileged We all just need more people like you and more organizations like HOBs if we wish to make this very society an ideal one for all of us to live in. And I trust hobs because they created a safe space for me and many others like me to let us express and be ourselves our emotions And accepted us just like a Family

I have been a part of HOBS for just 2 months but indeed it feels like a family. I would like to give a big shoutout to Akash and the... read more entire team for being so welcoming, supportive and understanding. I would specially recommend Safespace which brings about a community of people genuinely caring and supportive of each other giving hope and space for being themselves. Great initiative and it actually preserves the confidentiality also while sharing your experiences. As a person I am reserved, so SafeSpace made me also feel accepted without being judged for what I am and it is excellent the way Akash and everyone in the group actually makes you comfortable and open up. Also, I realized it does get the creativity inside each of us to express. It is a great motivation too and I do look up to this personally. Love being a part of this wonderful team and would love to see this grow✨️

February 28, 2022Aru ShanThe good points about this place: 1. Akash Ramchandani, the founder, is an amazing person. Always supportive of those of us who are going through pain while never failing to... read more gently guide us to the right way of behaving in case we have deviated and hurt someone around us. 2. The sessions are guided in a way that everyone is respectful of the other, everyone is heard, and that everyone gets something out of the session. 3. Anyone who has special needs is accommodated to make sure they can attend the session safely. 4. Everyone is also educated on general guidelines of safe space behaviour. 5. Complex emotions are often untangled in the sessions and psychologists are also roped in whenever they are needed by a person in case the problems are severe and need something the moderator is not qualified to provide. 6. The place is LGBTQIA++ friendly. 7. The sessions are full of laughter and sometimes even crying. Some are lighthearted and some are very deep. HOBS manages each session perfectly. The only bad point: 1. Akash may one day sell his soul to the evil forces in exchange for Naruto merchandise - xD , just kidding.

It's a indeed a safe space. Sharing my experience: initiaally i was hesitant and told the team that I won't be sharing anything and i will only listen, but once when I joined and people start sharing their experiences; I couldn't resist myself and it came out naturally that I started sharing my stuff. I can't describe how good it felt where i felt acknowledged . It gave me hope that there is a silver lining and a life far from a the pressure of the society. People are great, i found new friends and I must say that founder Mr. Akash Ramchandani is a gem. Thank you for creating this space Akash. Really Grateful. Lots of hugs 5*
