Office Diaries- Episode 1️⃣2️⃣: A Brother’s Support

📃Previously on Episode 1️⃣1️⃣:
Rohan’s nightmare ended in his car, not a jail cell. A call from Varun pulled him back from the edge, but the guilt, fear, and exhaustion still clung to him.

📜This week:

Rohan finally opens up, if only a little, to someone who listens without judging. Varun, his brother-in-law and MHFAider, steps in when no one else could.

As Rohan spirals, Varun anchors him. No big talks, just quiet care. Behind the scenes, Ananya struggles too, torn between worry and helplessness.

Sometimes, holding space is louder than any advice.

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”
— Mahatma Gandhi

In a time when silence surrounds stress, and stigma clouds emotion, Gandhiji’s words remind us: Service begins with empathy and empathy begins with listening.

This Independence Day, let’s ask ourselves:

🔹 Can we serve someone struggling—just by being present?
🔹 Can we free others from shame—by starting a simple, kind conversation?
🔹 Can we build workplaces and homes where emotional safety is a right, not a privilege?

Mental Health First Aid isn’t just a skill. It’s a way to serve. To support. To lead.

This 15th August, choose emotional freedom.

Learn MHFA. Help someone feel safe—at work, at home, in life.

Office Diaries – Episode 11: The Holding Cell
Previously on Episode 10:
A night of rage turned into flashing sirens and a shaky breathalyzer test. Rohan’s spiral was no longer private. Trouble had caught up with him.
This week:
A cold bench. A hard truth.
As Rohan sits in what seems to be a holding cell, guilt presses heavier than handcuffs.
A call is made. A family member is pulled into the mess.
But just when it all feels real… he jolts awake.
Was it all a dream? Or just a warning sign too loud to ignore?
Sometimes, the scariest wake-up call doesn’t come with sirens, it comes from within.

"Being there matters more than having all the answers."

Mental Health First Aid reminded many of us that support isn’t about fixing someone’s life. It’s about showing up with patience, empathy, and presence, so they know they’re not alone.

We’re grateful to every who has shared their experience. Each story reminds us that small shifts in how we listen and respond can change lives.
