🚨BJMC Taskforce
Being.Lagom, a doctor-led, trauma-informed mental health initiative, has mobilized a national taskforce of psychologists, psychiatrists, and trauma responders to support the BJMC community — rolling out rapid screening, triage, therapy, and grief support.
But we can’t do this alone.
What we urgently need:
🧠 Therapists + trauma clinicians (volunteer or funded)
📞 Crisis line partners
🏥 Institutional support
💸 Emergency funding to sustain care
If you believe mental health support shouldn't arrive too late, now is the time to act.

Support Mental Health at BJMC Ahmedabad
On June 12th, B.J. Medical College Ahmedabad was hit by a tragedy that words cannot hold. In the days since, students, nurses, security guards, cleaners, faculty, and ward staff have been quietly carrying the weight of grief, trauma, and numbness. The hallways still function. But the people inside them are not okay.
At Being.Lagom, we exist for this very reason. We are a doctor-led mental health initiative built to support the people within our healthcare system — not just in their role as caregivers, but in their full, complex humanity.
In response to the crisis at BJMC, we have activated a national mental health task force to offer immediate, trauma-informed care to those affected — with dignity, not diagnosis.
Here’s what we are doing:
-
Gentle mental health screening to identify those in shock or distress
-
Free/ Pay-what-you-can 1:1 therapy sessions with licensed trauma-informed therapists
-
Peer and staff group support spaces to rebuild collective safety
-
Ongoing emotional care for the invisible workforce — from sweepers to surgeons
We are not just responding to a crisis. We are trying to prevent its echoes.
What we need:
We are raising ₹20 lakhs (approx. $23,500 USD) to provide free, high-quality mental health support to 200+ students and staff over the next 6–8 weeks.
This covers:
-
6 individual therapy sessions per person
-
Therapist honorariums
-
Program coordination, triage, and follow-up
-
Materials, infrastructure, and emergency outreach
Why it matters:
Because grief needs more than time — it needs containers. Because burnout does not begin in hospitals, but in the belief that your pain doesn’t matter. Because healing cannot be outsourced to policies — it has to be lived, held, and built together.
Your donation does not fund a charity. It restores a nervous system, saves a future doctor, honors a grieving cook, and tells a tired nurse — you matter too.
Stand with us.
