Support Being.Lagom x BJMC taskforce
Being.Lagom is a doctor-led, trauma-informed mental health initiative focused on healing the invisible wounds of medical professionals. In response to the recent tragedy at BJMC Ahmedabad, we’ve mobilized a national taskforce of psychologists, psychiatrists, and trauma responders to support students and staff experiencing acute grief, shock, and PTSD symptoms. We are currently rolling out rapid-response mental health screening, triage, and therapy, grounded in clinical evidence and deep cultural sensitivity.
What we urgently need now:
- vetted mental health professionals (therapists, trauma clinicians),
- crisis line partnerships, and
- institutional allies to co-create sustainable, stigma-free systems of care for the BJMC community.
At BEING.LAGOM, we are driven by two things: empathy & impact
It's the reason why we started and this continues to fuel us to this day.
We hear that you are feeling fatigued, you've experienced burnout, maybe you're hurting and in need of support. We are here to assist, empower and hold you up so that you can prioritize your mental health and wellbeing, become an effective and compassionate professional who cares for your patients, as well as your colleagues.
Your biggest supporter (after yourself),
