Every year, World Mental Health Day reminds us that mental well-being is not a privilege but a necessity. This year’s theme “Mindful Well-being: Transforming Stress into Strength, Productivity, and Positivity”, perfectly aligns with the work of Nehal VRK, a leading counsellor, author, and mental health advocate from South Delhi.

Nurturing Emotional Intelligence and Gentle Parenting
Beyond therapy, Nehal is also a passionate advocate of mindful and gentle parenting. She is the author of three books on child upbringing, each reflecting her belief that emotional strength begins at home.
She is soon launching her innovative app “SilverNest – Raise a Genius” , focused on parenting psychology. The app will offer courses, tools, and resources (both free and paid) to help parents cultivate emotionally balanced, confident, and compassionate children.
As a mother of two IITians, Nehal blends personal experiences with professional insights, creating practical solutions for parents striving to raise emotionally balanced but successful, happy and confident individuals in today’s high-pressure world.
