We have experienced a transformation in the way we work, function, connect, and even operate on a day-to-day basis. Combined with the overriding fear over health issues, these uncertain times might have been stressful for everybody. We understand this and are committed to prioritising mental and emotional health – just as we prioritise other aspects of our employee’s wellbeing. We are hoping that with the BYJU’S Let’s Talk initiative, we can contribute to fostering conversations around mental health and wellbeing of people.”

With the Let’s Talk initiative, BYJUites can log in to the platform and select the therapist based on the issue and take the session forward.
