To spread awareness on mental health issues, a cycle rally, called Cyclothon, was held in Delhi today. The event was organised by ADRA India, in partnership with V4A Cycling & Running Club.
A total of 45 participants, wearing green t-shirts, cycled from Crowne Plaza, Okhla, to Qutub Minar and back in the national capital.
ADRA India's Country Director Weston Davis said, "It always helps me to become better aware of an issue and then I have a larger appreciation for the challenges. It is then easier to have meaningful conversations among friends, policy makers and the general public. It also helps draw attention towards the cause and breaks the stigma around recognising the issue."
"This (campaign) makes it easier for people dealing with mental health issues to seek help. Such campaigns also help survivors come together and convey the message of solidarity to those still struggling alone," he added.
