It’s Okay to not be okay, but not alone @ Olam 2026
Conversations about mental health don’t always need to be serious. Sometimes, fun is the most powerful way to open up deeply stigmatised topics like suicide prevention. Especially when such open conversations, in an open space like Kanakakkunnu, are unexpectedly blessed with summer rain… because in suicide prevention, when it rains, we dance.
On 29th March, Team Orange Room brought that spirit to our workshop at Olam creating a space where learning, laughter, reflection, and connection could exist together.
With deaf youth participants in the crowd and Indian Sign Language (ISL) interpretation supporting accessibility, the session became a truly inclusive space for everyone to engage, express, and be heard.
Behind every workshop, there’s also the unseen work of caring for ourselves as a team. As people working in youth suicide prevention, we make space for fun activities, shared energy, and moments of joy behind the scenes too—because supporting others begins with sustaining ourselves.
Thank you, Olam, for holding space for conversations that are honest, inclusive, and healing.
Beyond Labels: Understanding Bipolar together – World Bipolar Day Special Event
World Bipolar Day, observed every year on March 30, marks the birthday of Vincent van Gogh , who is widely believed to have lived with bipolar disorder. The day is dedicated to raising awareness, reducing stigma, and building better understanding around the condition.
This year, aligned with the theme #BipolarStrong, we chose to do things differently at the Orange Room last Saturday. Beyond Labels wasn’t just a session…it became a shared space. A space where clinical insight met lived experience, and where people came together…not only those living with bipolar disorder, but also those who wanted to understand it better.
Because awareness grows not only through lived stories, but also through curiosity, empathy, and the willingness to listen.
Together, we explored what it truly means to move beyond stereotypes, centering resilience, strength, and connection.
To everyone who showed up, listened deeply, and shared courageously, thank you for making this space what it was.
Let’s keep building conversations that are informed, compassionate, and #BipolarStrong
Let’s Live Turns 9 | Growing Together
This Friday, 13 February, we mark the 9th Foundation Day of Let’s Live.
What began in 2018 as a one-woman initiative has grown into a vibrant, youth-led team committed to mental health awareness and suicide prevention. From listening spaces at The Orange Room to campus initiatives like Unfiltered, our journey has always been rooted in one belief that conversations can save lives.
This year’s Foundation Day is especially meaningful. We are honoured to welcome Sabriye Tenberken and Paul Kronenberg, Co-Founders of kanthari, as our special guests:
• Sabriye will inaugurate the celebration
• Paul will launch our newly reimagined Let’s Live website — marking the beginning of our next digital chapter
The afternoon will also include a visual journey through nine years of impact — stories, milestones, and the young voices that shaped this movement.
Nine years later, we remain committed to breaking stigma and holding space for real conversations.
If you believe in community-driven mental health support, youth leadership, and compassionate listening – we would love for you to join us at The Orange Room.

All this time I was in a dilemma, thinking about who is a good listener, the one who just listens or the one who gives solutions. And before attending the session I used to think I was a good listener. Post this session I realized that listening isn’t about questioning details, but just listening to the person wholly without judgements. Thank you, it was nice meeting you all!

Personally, I feel privileged that I’ve learned how to cope with myself, but many people around me don’t have those skills or maybe they haven’t had the chance to develop them yet. I believe it’s really important for everyone to learn ways to deal with these things, not just for ourselves but also for others. The people we see every day, and even those we don’t know, might be going through something we’re unaware of. Maybe one day, we’ll be able to help them and even help ourselves in the process. I’m truly grateful for this Session, and I really had a good time.

Honestly this was a very impactful session for me. I’m very much passionate about mental health and I usually follow a lot of content related to it. I have also struggled a lot mentally over the years. I genuinely appreciate the opportunity I had to have attended the session. I speak on behalf of all of us. This session left a huge impact on all of us, especially the ribbon activity. It was very well thought of and I think they carried the session really well. It’s like many of these things were really relatable to all of us in an emotional context. It was very real and very raw. Definitely it was unfiltered. I resonated with a lot of things they conveyed in the session. Thank you!

I attended all three sessions, and each one was more engaging and impactful than the last. The content delivered was highly relevant, practical, and meaningful. These sessions provided valuable insights that are rarely addressed in regular academic settings and encouraged thoughtful reflection on mental well-being. I sincerely hope that more such sessions are conducted in the future, as they would greatly benefit students.

I came across the Google Form in my class WhatsApp group and got curious because we’ve never really had a session like this in our college. Most of our sessions are usually very technical, and we’re kind of used to thinking only in that way. So when I saw the form, I signed up along with my friends just for fun, thinking it might be something like yoga or a light session. We came in without any expectations, but once the session started, I was genuinely surprised. I really liked how well you interacted with everyone and made the session so engaging. Even though the hall was full, you managed to involve students from all sections, and that was honestly amazing. It’s something we can really look up to. Today’s session felt even more special because the group was smaller and made up of people who genuinely wanted to be there. It felt like a safe space, and people like me actually got a chance to open up, reflect, and look at our feelings from a completely different perspective. I may have thought about these things before, but I never really took the time to sit with those feelings and understand them. Thank you so much for such an amazing session and for giving us this opportunity. Great job to the entire team, and I really hope you’ll come back again!

1. What is the difference between a listening session and counselling?
A listening session is a safe, non-clinical space to talk and be heard without advice or diagnosis, while counselling involves structured therapy provided by trained mental health professionals.
2. What can I expect from weekend sessions at The Orange Room?
Weekend sessions are open, facilitator-led conversations with mental health professionals and subject-matter experts, offering free spaces to learn, reflect, and explore emotional well-being together in a calm, welcoming environment.
3. What does non-judgmental listening mean?
Non-judgmental listening means being heard with empathy and respect, without labels, advice, or criticism- just space to express yourself freely.
4. Who is a Mental Health Champion?
A Mental Health Champion is a trained youth volunteer who leads with empathy, awareness, and responsibility. They are not therapists or counsellors. Instead, they are informed peers who help create safe, open, and stigma-free spaces within their schools, colleges, and communities.
What Does a Mental Health Champion Do?
Encourages Open Conversations
Champions normalize discussions around stress, anxiety, identity, relationships, and emotional struggles- making it easier for young people to speak up without fear or shame.Promotes Emotional Well-being
Through workshops, peer circles, and awareness activities, they foster resilience, self-care, and supportive friendships.Creates Safe Spaces
They help cultivate environments where every voice is respected and every feeling is valid.Bridges to Professional Support
Mental Health Champions act as a bridge between youth in need and trusted mental health service providers. They guide peers toward appropriate help when concerns require professional care.
Why It Matters
Young people often turn first to someone they trust. By equipping youth with the right knowledge, sensitivity, and referral pathways, we strengthen early support systems and reduce stigma at the grassroots level.
A Mental Health Champion is not just a volunteer. They are a listener, an advocate, and a catalyst for a more compassionate community.
5. Is Let’s Live a replacement for professional mental health care?
Let’s Live offers emotional support and connection, but it does not replace professional mental health services; we encourage seeking clinical support when needed and help with referrals when possible.
