_Join us in making therapy accessible to all
_We at Muktaa believe that everyone should be able to receive the right mental health care – wherever and however they need it. That’s why we’re reaching out to you.

A bit about us
Muktaa Charitable Foundation is a non-profit organisation that has been working on various social issues like HIV/AIDS, addiction, sexual heath awareness, gender sensitization and life skill education since 2005. Our flagship Samvad HIV/AIDS helpline has helped more than
3,50,000 callers since it was first started in 2005.

We’re an ambitious, close-knit team. We don’t do mediocre – we’re unashamedly here to support our clients to achieve outcomes that transform their lives. Most of us can’t do it alone – we need an amazing team around us to learn from and share with. At Muktaa, we celebrate our successes and also our efforts, journeys and the friendships we make along the way.

A brief brief about the project
Now, we want to extend our telephonic helpline services in the mental health field for youth.
Over half of lifelong mental illness and distress shows its first signs in adolescence. We, at
Muktaa, want to do something to dramatically reduce the number of adults living with entrenched mental health problems by nurturing them early on, during the most important formative years of their life.

In this light, we are starting a directive mental health helpline that caters to adolescents and young adults (up to the age of 25). We would like to provide basic first-aid to every caller and offer recurring sessions or family services when required.

Now enough about us, moving on to you. Are you:

• a holder of a Master’s in Psychology (minimum)?
• a fresher or experienced professional hoping to make a difference?
• based in or able to work from Pune?
• fluent in Marathi, Hindi and English?
• available to join our team in the first week of December?
• driven to be a part of the foundation phase of a mental health institution?

• willing to undergo a 4-6month rigorous training in telephonic conversations with a stipend of ₹10,000 per month with room to grow into a full-time role with an industry-standard salary within an estimated 1-2 months?

• very comfortable using technology and apps to communicate and keep track of things within the team and with clients?

• passionate about empathetic, client-centric conversations?
• looking forward to creating content around mental health for the organisation’s social media
• dedicated to this cause for at least 3 years?
• good with deadlines, teamwork and open to feedback?
• excited to learn and develop new skill sets through regular upskilling workshops?
• open to cross-learning from peer-to-peer engagement?

If yes, we’ve been looking for you!

If you’re a therapist looking for more, this is an exciting time to join the Muktaa team. When you are on a mission to help others and make the world a happier and healthier place, work doesn’t feel like work but becomes an extension of ourselves!

If this excites you as much as it excites us, we look forward to hearing from you and having some interesting conversations along the way.

Yours,
Dhriti Agarwal
