Challenges and Mitigation

While the vision is ambitious several challenges must be addressed One significant hurdle is the stigma associated with visiting a psychologist in traditional segments of society in India New Delhi To mitigate this we will employ community health workers who act as trusted intermediaries helping families navigate mental health concerns Another challenge is financial accessibility Not all residents can afford private therapy Therefore subsidies sliding scale fees and insurance partnerships will be implemented to ensure equity Furthermore retaining skilled psychologists in high pressure environments requires competitive compensation packages and robust support systems to prevent burnout among the very professionals we aim to empower.
