ABOUT GAYATHRI RAMPRASAD
THE STORY OF ASHA INTERNATIONAL The power of a promise Namaste! Welcome to ASHA International! My name is Gayathri Ramprasad. I am the Founder & President of ASHA International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting personal, organizational and community wellness through culturally-responsive mental health education, training and support. I am also the author of Shadows in the Sun: Healing from Depression and Finding the Light Within. In April 2006, I along with a distinguished group of mental health advocates, founded ASHA International, Together, we have had the privilege of reaching out and touching the lives of more than people locally and internationally with a resounding message of hope and recovery. My concern for those suffering from mental health issues was born out of my own experience. Like many people, my family and I were ignorant about mental disorders. It wasn’t until I became severely depressed and tried to commit suicide that my family and I finally began to educate ourselves about mental health issues and seek help. Fortunately, with effective treatment and the unconditional love and support of family and friends, I have recovered and am living a functional, fulfilling life. While I celebrate my wellbeing, I am acutely concerned about the barriers to recovery faced by 450 million men, women and children struggling with mental disorders around the world. Treatment works, and recovery is possible. If you or your loved one is struggling with mental health issues, don’t despair. You are not alone. There is hope. ASHA International offers information, inspiration, and tools to transform your life. Our programs will empower you to achieve wellness through education, support, referrals and resources. For more information about ASHA International and our programs, please visit us our website. Wishing you wellness, Gayathri Ramprasad, MBA, CPS Founder & President, ASHA International Specialties: Mental health and holistic wellness, cultivating recovery and wellness in behavioral health, healing from depression, transforming trauma into triumph, variations in cultural value systems and its impact on mental health and wellness, and mental health advocacy.
