Friends or family members of individuals with mental illness can also seek advice. YARANA is staffed by a panel of Qualified Consultant Psychiatrists who offer free, anonymous guidance.

The goal is to help individuals find relevant resources, build confidence, and support their recovery. Queries can be emailed, with responses provided via email or a call from a volunteer within 5 days.
