ShampaMental Illness

In this compelling exploration of mental health, Shampa, a passionate disability activist and someone living with psycho-social disabilities, becomes the voice that delves into the societal stigma that often shrouds mental health and emphasizes the importance of seeking help. As the narrative progresses, Shampa sheds light on the legal frameworks in place that safeguard the rights and dignity of individuals facing mental health challenges. Transitioning seamlessly, the film also introduces Suchetana, her daughter, dedicated to manning a crisis helpline. She talks of those who reach out—individuals navigating through personal traumas, seeking support in times of crisis, or simply needing a compassionate ear. Together, Shampa and Suchetana champion the cause of mental health awareness, fostering a society that embraces the complexities of the human mind with compassion and understanding.
