Maitra in Sanskrit means bond of friendship.
“Help is just a call away in times of emotional distress" – that is Maitra Helpline for you. Tele counseling or rather, an “Emotional First Aid" helpline is an initiative of IPH operating since 26 June 1998.
Maitra helpline, attended by scrupulously selected and trained volunteers who are also regularly monitored and guided, does the job of a nonjudgmental, empathic good listener; a faceless friend who will not reject, ridicule or tell on you- whatever your problem.
Working from 9 AM to 9 PM on all working days and from 9 AM – 1 PM on Sundays, it has received about 22,000 calls till now, of which approximately 8000 are help calls.
