Most of the time families fail to understand the symptoms of child abuse: Kamna Chhibber, Head, Mental Health, Department of Mental Health and Behavourial Sciences, Fortis HealthcareI think it's very important to talk about the mental health well being of children especially those who have gone through these. We have been working with adults to know how to pick up these signs, to know what they're (children) going through and we are working on this with schools, teachers and parents and everyone around children to pick up indicators to find out what the child is going through. It's important to give basic counselling and there's a dearth of experts in the country and we are unable to give adequate help at the time hence, it can lead to the severity which leads to more suicides, so we are trying to create more resources and telling children how to use them; information regarding where you can seek help and those are places where you actively work on for children.
