Program Outreach Manager

Nidhi is an English graduate from Delhi University and a Post-graduate in Information Technology. She has been working in the field of learning and development for over a decade, during which she was associated with large corporates, startups, NGOs and leading international Schools. One of her assignments, which she cherishes and believes helped her define her calling, was with a renowned International School in Hyderabad, where she was tasked with developing content in the areas of Compassion, Bravery and Empathy for students (young girls). While researching for the content, she was exposed to the hardships and other challenges that people go through in the society. And this left Nidhi thinking that she needs to use her acquired skills and knowledge to give back to the community and make a difference in people’s life. She found her calling at Nayi Disha Resource Center. She leads the Service Directory effort at Nayi Disha and wants to create a largest service directory for the parents with kids/adults with Intellectual and Developmental difficulty so they do not have to run from pillar to post for information related to Therapists, Special Schools etc. She also leads Social Media outreach at Nayi Disha to spread awareness about this initiative. Apart from her work she enjoys long drives and different cuisines.

Counsellor

She has studied Masters in Clinical Psychology from University of Mumbai and is currently pursuing Advanced Diploma in Counselling Psychology. She has received training in various psychotherapies, such as Transactional Analysis with Gestalt work and Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She attended a Child Therapy Training course from Trijog Counselling Centre, and has interned in hospitals such as Kalwa and Masina Hospital in Mumbai, where she was exposed to children with developmental delays. She firmly believes that “Healed people, Heal people” and hence, changing the life of one person can create a chain of change. Her academic and psychotherapy training has helped her to understand the significance of the role of parents, peers and environment in the life of children, even more when they have difficulties. She believes that it takes a village to raise a child, and chooses to be an actively participating member of the village.
