The Alternative Story is an Indian mental health collective which provides counselling services to individuals and organisations based in Bengaluru.[1] It aims to provide mental health services that are affordable,[2] intersectional feminist, trauma-informed, kink-aware, queer-affirmative and caste aware.[3][4][5][6]

History

The group was founded in 2018 by Paras Sharma[7] and Rashi Vidyasagar.[8] Sharma had produced a podcast, also called The Alternative Story, from 2018.[9] In 2022, The Alternative Story was one of 40 national and international organisations to collaborate with Jindal School of Psychology and Counselling in their degree course to provide work placements.[10]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, counsellors from the group spoke about the increased needs for their services, and the mental health impacts of the lockdowns and other pandemic measures[11][12] as well as anxiety when measures were lifted.[13][14] Members of the Alternative Story have spoken about the impact on people in India and the lack of robust mental health infrastructure.[15][16]

Services

The organisation provides the following services:

  • One-on-one counselling
  • Pay What You Want
  • Conjoint and family counselling
  • Support groups
  • Training and workshops
  • Webinars
  • Online counselling[17][18]
  • Certificate course in trauma centred therapy[19]
