Vertices Partners recently launched Mind Your Wellness, a mental health initiative for all its team members.

The firm has collaborated with Pallavi, a city-based psychologist, to offer professional counselling services to its lawyers free of cost. As a part of this service, each team member will be able to attend a one-on-one private session each month to discuss various aspects of individual mental health.

This initiative encourages reflective conversations in a safe and private space with the aim that the individual attendees will be able to actively work on developing tools and skills required to experience enriching emotional fulfilment.

The initiative was launched with an introductory interactive session that focused on approaching mental health without prejudice.

Speaking on the launch, Founder Partner Archana Khosla Burman said,

“Continuing to give shape to our value of healthy living by means of adopting policies and creating initiatives that are designed to bring about fundamental and positive differences in the lives of our colleagues, Mind Your Wellness is a must because the truth is that we cannot have health positivity without emphasis on the mental processes of the people that matter to us the most – our team members.”

On the Mind Your Wellness initiative, Pallavi said,

“Therapy is a buzz-word and often bears prejudice. Mental Health is the foundation of healthy cognitive functions, yet it often remains one of the most ignored aspects of our health, especially in the corporate world. Vertices Partners is a firm that clearly demonstrates empathy for its team members, and I am absolutely thrilled to be collaborating with a new-age, progressive law firm to implement a potential life-changing initiative, Mind Your Wellness.”

The announcement comes a month after the firm declared the provision of period leave for all its women colleagues.
