Absolutely! The program includes 5+ live mock tests, practical sessions, case studies, and supervised practice with expert feedback. You'll get hands-on experience before working with real individuals.

You'll have access to 24x7 doubt support, one-on-one mentorship, and supervision by experienced psychologists and mental health experts throughout your training.

After completing the training, you'll have the opportunity to apply for internships with PANHA where you can practice your skills under supervision and gain real-world experience in mental health support.

You don't have to be perfect to be a Buddy; you just have to be present. In fact, understanding your own "body battery" and stress responses is part of the training. We value your humanity over your "expertise."

You will be trained in Escalation Maps and "Red Flag" identification to know exactly when and how to pass the baton to a Senior Psychologist.

We teach you to check your "Body Battery" and use "End-of-Session" rituals to ensure you don't burn out.
