    By A Correspondent

     

    D B Corp Limited (DBCL) has announced a new CSR initiative ‘Teentalkindia.com,’ an emotional well-being platform for teenagers in India.

     

    Commenting on the same, a DB Group spokesperson said: “Today’s teenagers deal with a great deal of pressure from peers, high parental expectations, societal mores as well as academic pressures which, in some cases lead to severe depression amongst teenagers. This is compounded by the fact that there are limited support services available for emotional well-being. It continues to be a huge growing concern, more often either not discussed, ignored or un-recognised in most parts of our country.”

     

    Teentalk’s in-house team includes full-time personal counsellors and experts on teen issues. It has also partnered with support services like Fortis Helpline, Vandrewala Foundation and other organisations.
